Unhappy

This Roadster of mine is now starting to test my patience

It will be going for the IVA test next month , tho I,m not telling the date .....my BIG secret

So, I,m doing the last few odd jobs at the mo...today for instance I was working on making the final connections to a new gauge in my dash & had to disconnect the speedo cable to gain better access....no worries there, any way, did the gauge wiring, then ran the car upto to temp to make sure said gauge was working ok......it was, so , I thought "ah, whilst its running I,ll give it a quick spin " .....then noticed the speedo wasn,t working ...aarggh, ( yes I had reconnected it ), so sets to investigating the cause....turns out the circlip holding the cable into the gearbox had snapped, how I have no idea, now this is not the most easily reached area of the tunnel....had to take the tunnel side panel off to sort it ,

Now its left me with something thats baffling me, the oil temp gauge is now reading 120???? it had only been running a few mins aarrghhh

Any thoughts on the reason why please guys?


It will NOT beat me ....still felt great to drive it.

cheers
andy
