If he's just bought it and the car hasn't been used maybe the previous owner removed the crud from the cap so he didn't think the gasket had blown?

Maybe we were lucky, Andy?
After having to buy a strap wrench for my first oil change after the previous owner had had his air-gun on it I've never had an issue. Never torque it though. You can see when it nicks up.

I got a little blue one that bluetooths to my phone and I run it with Torque. Works very well. £15 from a well known online book store. Small enough that I can run the car with it in and the fuse-panel shut.

Seen a few on youtube over the years and seem to remember a young lad at the Hazlemere (?) meet a few years ago had one fitted to a 3.0l.

Sorry, no but as a wild guess I'd have a look for a loose connection either on the starter solenoid or possibly an earth strap.

Read the one about flushing the breathers out. Needs to be done regularly otherwise, well, your rocker-cover gaskets go!
