As I expected with RRC ownership, my '93 LSE has various issues that are getting attended to as & when I can BUT, I'm wondering if my suspicions are right with the latest faults...
Changed oil & filter (10W/40), all good.
Changed air filter, cleaned housing, all good.
Water pump started leaking badly (didn't overheat)... replaced it, all good.
All lights have been dim now & again & I suspected the alternator.
Engine has always had occasional misfiring issues at idle & in heavy traffic & I suspected the MAF.
Now it gets strange!
I had to move my newly bought caravan tonight for a distance of about 2 easy miles & the flippin oil pressure warning light started coming on at below 1000 revs at traffic lights! So I parked up, switched off, checked the oil, checked for leaks, and all appeared fine. BTW when the oil light came on it was dim, then bright, then dimmed & went out when the revs were raised any.
Anyway dumped off caravan, went home without any stops & oil light came on again when I went to park up & the engine started misfiring. Switched off again, checked under the bonnet, couldn't see feck all wrong, started it up again & it ran perfectly with no oil light on!!
Oh & because my other half had better things to do tonight than **** about in the pishing rain, there was no way of me checking for caravan disco lights when indicating/braking, but the front caravan marker lights change from dim to bright on occasion.
Could all of these faults be attributed to a bad earth on my Classic??
