This could open a whole catalogue of issues!
My main reason for starting this is to see if people suffer from common problems and to share them with other Northamptoners who then maybe able to help.
As you all know I own a Chimaera. Granted you could be forgiven for suggesting I am lying as hardly anyone has seen it, let alone heard the beastie!
She's been in Scotland since March as a friend kindly rubbed his hands in glee at offering to do some improvements and a few necessary repairs (common cam problem). Naturally although this saved me garage labour costs it meant I would be without my car for a while and would have my arm twisted into more upgrades. Not a problem as he's a good mate and I was happy to let him use the car for mechanical and use fun.
Sadly work for him, being self employed, took over a fair amount of his free time but the main stumbler came when all was put together and no oil pressure could be gained! This has meant that little progress has been made in the past few months.
Now, she is going to be transfered to new capable hands who are keen to solve this annoying oil pressure problem as phone calls etc proved unsuccessful! The challenge is on!
She should move next weekend. I shall not name to who yet but he is a well known face and Chim owner.
Wish me luck as I maybe able to resume my post as public nuisence next month!

Not that drastic Skin! The engine is generally sweet, just something wich has been changed must either be fautly or not in right and preventing oil flow.
