In typical fashion, my plan didn’t work out, so now I’m onto Version Two of my oil pressure monitoring solution.
One thing I have been chasing since getting this car is backlash and thumping from the rear diff when coming on and off throttle or changing gear; I finally sorted it.
Well, that’s it, it’s been six months, which means the WOF on the Marina has run out.
The final lot of work in the week since I bought the car, was to sort out some shifting issues
Next on the list of things to quickly knock off, I wanted to install a proper gauge to measure oil pressure and temp.
Having arrived home with the new car the day before, I took no time at all to start ripping the car to bits.
It’d been an interesting month or so since I sold the Alto, trying to work out what on earth my next project would be. Finally, It fell into my lap.
Selling the Alto had an interesting unintended benefit; it has allowed me to get the Marina out and use it more since it’s not blocked in anymore.
I can be a bit lazy when it comes to maintaining the daily, particularly when it works fine. Preventative maintenance and I aren’t really on good terms.
