Six months ago a friend at work asked me if I would drive him to his wedding in my 40.
No problem. So last Saturday we had a dry run from Farnborough to a place just outside Petersfield. I ran him down there and back to his house and then I drove back to my place. The engine had sounded a little rough but everything went fine until about 10 miles from Basingstoke when the oil pressure went off the gauge.
I drove back gingerly and the next day I had a look at the oil. It's full of steel flakes so I'm in the process of stripping down the engine to find out what went wrong.
However, I don't think I'll have the car back in one piece to drive my friend to his wedding.
I was to pick hime up from his house in Farnborough (Hants) at about 2pm on Friday the 22nd June to get him to the hotel near Petersfield (Hants) for his wedding at 3pm.
Can anybody out there help.
