I took Saskia for the commute into work today and for a drive lst night. She seemed to be fine except for the slightly annoying exhaust barking at 3000rpm +, good for drawing attention to Saskia thou

Sounds like Saskia is having a few teething troubles with her new engine and everything! There are a few causes of the idle not always returning right down where it should. My first point to check w

I had already decided to go for the simple option first and have ordered an oil pressure sender from Canley Classics this morning. It should arrive tomorrow hopefully. I'll keep my fingers crossed, a

I can't help with your problem but my oil light didn't work at all so for $15 I bought and installed an oil pressure gauge last night. Took about an hour to do and when I cranked her up I found 50 #

Replacing the oil pressure sending unit is definitely a good start and the most probable cause. I have one other suggestion resulting from a similar problem experienced on my TR-6. Near the oil pres

Obviously, you're talking about your cold idle? Mine runs about 65lb's on start up, maybe 70lbs, but drops to anywhere from 10-20lbs idle at any red light after I've been running her for awhile. Hel

The original gauges (other than speed and revs) would have been fuel and water temperature. So, apart from oil pressure, what else have you got in there? And how on earth has anyone managed to squee
