So was this, THE weekend ?

Kill switch Clock delete looks good and purposeful...

Warning signs everywhere...
Image


Oil warmed up, before 7 litres went into the tank...
Image

Image


Germanys finest 98 octane added...
Image


Now I am not going to lie, the next bit is abit of an anti-climax. During the final checking we noticed that the Oil pressure gauge was going abit mad. Basically the Oil pressure sender is knackered, I tried to fit the sender from the 912, but it didn't work, so a new sender is ordered and will be here this week.....I didn't want to risk starting it without knowing if there was any Oil Pressure.

HOWEVER last evening.....as the Sun was setting, the Birds were signing and the Planets aligned, this happened.....not THE video I wanted to post, but an encouraging sign that maybe, just maybe it will start.....soon :)

( Spark Plug leads disconnected )

O' and I need a new Oil Tank, as there is Oil coming out of at least 2 pin holes :cry:

Cheers
Chris
