    Didn't get round to fitting the head today. The new head bolts didn't arrive so got the headlights and indicators working instead.

    Got her all running again. She's almost ready for her mot. Having issues with the reverse lights at the moment. I've fitted a new switch and that works fine. But when it's screwed into the block and I put the car in reverse I get nothing. Stuck for ideas.

    I did take lots. But managed to destroy my phone during the rebuild. I've only got a couple Videos of it running to put up from new phone.

    So finally on the road. Mot'd and tax bobbing around. And suddenly the dreaded oil light came on. plenties of oil in it. So thought the pump had gone. But good news. Picked up a pressure gauge today and there's plenty of pressure. Looks just like a faulty sensor so I'll buy both and fit them tomorrow.

    Filter pressure
