its at it again.

After a rest from trying to get the car started I went back up the garage today, took the plugs out and cranked it over and over and over, No fookin oil pressure, I know why, and how to cure it, but Im sure my car hates me,

I think the pump has drained down due to a oil leak on a pressure take off for the gauge, it looks like the whole fitting has split, so I will make a new one tonight at work,

The trouble is trying to get the pump base off with the engine in situ and re priming the oil pump

My mate has a Rover V8 in his escort - if I see him, I'll ask for any tips cos I'm sure he has similar problems occationally, of course fitting a pre-crossflow would solve this problem - but it does come with other associated problems
