What did you do today?

[DodgeRover]

Likewise also sorry to hear.

All the best Pin.

So, my mate Dennis rocked up this lunchtime in his Octavia and I jumped in with a carrier bag containing Allen keys, Torex fittings and Chinese trim removal tools. The heavy infantry was in the boot.
So, a pair of pensioners headed off to the Barnsley scrap yards because some cunt had smashed the drivers side door mirror off his Octavia whilst parked in Morrison's.
We were lucky because they had a single Octavia in the yard, engine less but the drivers side mirror was intact. We were even luckier because somebody had already removed the internal door trim. One Torex screw later and the mirror was in Dennis's hand and the scrap man was £15 richer.
Back to Dennis's and by the time Dennis had made a coffee I was already well on removing the door trim. Didn't take too long and Dennis has a new, working door mirror, shame it's pale blue and his car is slate grey.
Looked up how to change the cover, doesn't just clip on, a right fooking ball ache of a job to do.
"Dennis"
"What"
"Wait for a nice day and get down to Rotherham Refinishing".
"Why"
"Get them to make up a match can of paint and spray the bastard".
Job done.

Ah, the days when everything was that easy............. Good result.

Checked the engine oil in the tractor and it was milky again. It's only done about an hour's work since I changed it. Fuck knows where the water is coming from as the coolant is clean and hasn't dropped at all. There's no obvious way rain water is getting in either. I've put fresh oil in again and put it under cover pending further investigation.

Took the MGB out for a run.

Towards the end the oil pressure fluctuated quite rapidly between about 55 and 80 psi when I was off the throttle. I vaguely remember that it's done this a couple of times in the past and has 'fixed itself'.
The oil level is OK so I'm leaving it, assuming it's the result of being stood for a few weeks. I know that might not make sense but it's a pragmatic 'solution' at the moment.

[DodgeRover]

Is it a physical oil feed line or electrically operated?

[LynehamHerc]

Physical.

Swapped Jag for the Merc, had to take the Merc to the petrol station as it was devoid of the potion that makes motion... Fucking garage has one entire lane (of two) dedicated to 'Pay at Pumps' which is fine by me as if I go in the shop, I spend money. But today, every single 'Pay at Pump' pump was out of order!

I had to queue with the plebs to fill up and then go in the shop with the pungent residents of Torbay in order to pay. It's just NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!!!!!

Perhaps I am in a tiny bit of a Bad Fucking Mood Today!!!!

Gummed up pressure relief valve that washes clean after a bit of use? Or the same with some gummy old oil in the line to the gauge. In a similar way I had car years ago that kept displaying the oil light but never sounded lacking in oil. I took the pressure switch out & the end of it was utterly gummed up with old oil. A careful dig around with a bit of wire to clean it & the oil light never came on when running again.
