You will either have advanced warning or no warnign at all....
You just have to pay attention, unlike the Escort Driver at ford fair 2008, who had done three laps with the engine clattering like it was about to explode. The rest of the pack were not happy when their expensive track session was cut short by an escort created oil and shrapnel slik... Nor were the next two sessions drivers who lost their slots too!! Just always remember where the clutch pedal is.. TT

HA, Am I correct in thinking Spud has a zetec in his now? and you're still with the wheezy CVH
 If so then your rods are likely to make a bid for freedom anyway when you start chasing Spud and FWIW I've never had time to look at the gauges I always thought connecting the oil pressure warning to the horn would work better BV.

It's very pacifying to have the oil pressure gauge in, just to know that all is working well and no impending doom is about to hit the engine. Also on the track i find that your senses are so much sharper and even in your peripheral vision or a quick glance you can keep an eye on the pressure. Makes for nice peace of mind.
Although April 9th i maybe more intent in watching my wing mirrors as Handy and Marks cars disappear into the distance.....Cant wait....7 weeks and 3 days.....
