What was the diagnosis of this in the end
So long ago he can't remember
Yes I seem to remember it wasn't as simple as 'it sorted itself out'
Yeah, it did
Brief overview:
Drove into KW's garage one Friday night, purring.
Converted to LPG
Started up Sunday eve, "Oh dear"
Spent a couple of weeks poncing, no improvement.
Got it out of KW's garage, as he'd been ice skating in his Westfield, and took to MDTM
MDTM found a manifold to egr pipe split, and a lazy lifter, replaced 12 lifters.
Finished off LPG at LazyArse's house, and started LPG calibration... "Oh dear, during the high speed runs".
Drove home very slowly, under 80mph all the way.
Flushed oil with a strong oil flush, and took for a "spirited drive" on verbal instruction from MDTM. "Very Oh Dear", as it dumped 9l of coolant up the windscreen.
Turns out, by "spirited", he actually did not mean "wrangle its nuts".
Changed oil, put in Wynns, turn radio up.
Plan was to test oil pressure... ...never did, it sorted itself out, and I forgot all about it
. Suppose I should check really... ...but its working.
