    I didn't think it could get worse, went to investigate the water leak, somewhere down the right side, most likely the water pump :evil:
    But, now, the oil pressure light stays on :disapprove:

    Fi, to answer your question, was still running it in, up and down the revs all the way home, hence the 6 hour 310 mile drive but, you could feel there was loads of torque, the Quaife LSD is a bit snatchy, but you'd expect that.

    So, not sure what's gonna happen, i've got a phone call to make :evil:

    No oil / water mixing, checked the dipstick and the water bottle, waiting for a return phone call to discuss way forward

    Got the call, they are gonna pick him up and sort him out :)

    Not Great news Allan... :disapprove:

    As you say they are coming to pick it up, but it's very dissapointing they didn't get it right the first time.

    Hope it turns out OK... <remember and drop in on the way back next time...>
