The lower level at 3000rpm was about 1.5 bar. Lokks as though I need to change the sensor or go mechanical, thanks all.

I think I have damaged the sump on my K series (wet sump) is it possible to remove it and get someone to weld it.

My 1.8 supersport showed lower than normal oil pressure on the way back from north Wales on Sunday. It was a very hot day and I drove 150 miles with only 1 short stop the pressure got lower after about 100miles. Could this be due to the oil getting hot, a faulty sender or a worn oil pump. I haven't taken the car out since but will check it out on a short run tomorrow. Alan

Thanks snutall and grubster, another thing to look out for, but finding the leak if it only a pin hole could be a problem. Alan Mature enthusiast Black with Silver stripe 1.8K super sport. Back with my 7.

I have changed the water rail gasket and the thing is still leaking, next step is to repalce the inlet manifold gasket, I know I have been a bit slow with this but it has been so bl**dy cold and I am in no hurry as I don't intend to use the car till March.

888's for me even in the wet are not to bad, but driven hard don't last long 3 to 5k with the rears. Mature enthusiast Black with Silver stripe 1.8K super sport. Back with my 7.

Great pics Angus and I have checked again and it looks more like that water rail gasket as the water is still dripping very slightly now it is cold. Mature enthusiast Black with Silver stripe 1.8K super sport. Back with my 7.

Thanks again Mankee I didn't change the inlet gasket so I will now check that if you are right that could be a big thing off my mind. Alan Mature enthusiast Black with Silver stripe 1.8K super sport. Back with my 7. Edited by - Alan and Daisy on 2 Dec 2010 13:13:00

Thanks Mankee The reason I think it has gone again is that I am loosing water and discovered a leak coming from between the head and block on the exhaust side of the engine. I have checked the torque on the head bolts(new ones fitted with new mod gasket) and they are fine. Do I need to get a new head as skimming it again does not sound like an option.

What's the chance of a second head gasket failure once one has gone and been replaced including a head skim? Mature enthusiast Black with Silver stripe 1.8K super sport. Back with my 7.

I've had a 7 for 7 years and also been a member of the L7C the same time and I have never been spotted, perhaps I don't spend enough time at home. 😶🌫️ Mature enthusiast Black with Silver stripe 1.8K super sport. Missing my seven.

I have inspected my pads and found them to be a bit thin so thought I would remove them and fit new. I have a 98 1.8k roadsport with dedion. On looking to see how to remove the pads I am a bit stumped as it appears the whole caliper has to come off and this means removing the brake pipe. Has anyone any advice. I have searched on here for any posts but none of help. Alan Mature enthusiast Black with Silver stripe 1.8K super sport. Missing my seven.

Having recently cracked one of the rear wings I was wondering if I should change to Carbon any thoughts and advise. I have been on the Carbon bits web and found that until further notice due to high demand they are no longer taking orders for wings but I am patient and can wait. My son in law is making repairs to the GF wing at the moment. Alan 😶🌫️ Mature enthusiast Black with Silver stripe 1.8K super sport. Missing my seven.
