Went down to my garage with the intention of getting my new engine running better.

Found a pile of oil on the floor........traced it back to the turbo feed pipe and managed to sort that. Dipped the engine to see how much oil I had lost and was shocked to find the oil was mixed with petrol. Is over fueling the cause of this?

So off with the bung, drained the oil, new oil in. Wired in my new gunson lo gauge....and the fuel pressure was only 4.5psi......reset this to 3.0. Car is now starting first time every time....and sounds unbeliveable well. Flooding with oil in the chambers has now stopped. That gauge is worth its weight in gold!

my fuel pressure wont go below 6psi on idle i suspect its because my return in the tanks to small or my regs faulty *smiley*

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.
