No oil pressure - we have a plan!

We managed to get to the ferry on time on the back of a truck and had a really good look at the problem with David Ayre. There is simply no oil pressure through the oil filter so we have to drop out the sump and have a look at the plumbing and the oil pump. Quite a big job.

With disaster comes good fortune. One of the other Lagonda's has a damaged gear box and a new one with a mechanic is currently on it's way to via Reggio. They also have a spare drive mechanism for the fuel pump.

We have arranged two trucks to get us to via Reggio and should if all goes according to plan be starting on the car at about 18.00 tonight. Fingers crossed that we can it fixed and be back in the rally tomorrow.

I am optimistic.
