Default Wrong as usual

I went for a drive and after about 15 miles the oil temperature is 70 degrees or a little more, Water temp is 80 degrees plus a bit for hills or delays and oil pressure is slightly above spec, especially at tick over. On the open road in overdrive top it's doing about 80 mph at a bit over 3000 and it seems happy at that speed.

Having been told they were revvy engines I've been surprised at how there is a surprising amount of power from tick over, it will rev past 4000 but seems happiest below. The fan is noisy at higher RPM.

All in all a surprisingly good old car to which I shall shortly fit an anti-roll bar that is lying on the hall floor and causing mild irritation with the other half!
