Hi. Passing a garage this afternoon I had a quick look at a l/r for sale; it has a 3.5l carb V8. Seemed to drive ok (nice noise) but was a little concerned that a warning light showing a red oil can came on and stayed on when I parked with engine idling. If I revved the engine a bit it went out...
Should I worry about this suggested low oil pressure? I believe the engine has done about 70k and has been used very little during the last couple of months. I dipped the oil and it seemed nice and clean with no sign of water or gunge in it, but I wasn't really prepared for a more detailed investigation when I saw the vehicle.
(If I'd known I was going looking at l/rs today I'd have asked the group in advance what nightmares to look out for in 110s from the early 80's. Beyond the normal chassis and bulkhead rot is there anything else they are prone to??)
Many thanks,
M.
