Well I had my first break down.. Developed a massive oil leak at the back of my valve cover gasket. I didn't notice that it was a sandwich affair, with metal in the middle and cork on each side... Not the best design from what I can see.
The cork gasket is very thin, and it shrank away from the metal part of the sandwich in the few short miles I have used the car, leaving a big hole.. Lot's of oil everywhere.. I don't like using silicone on gaskets, but in this case I have to make an exception.
Just to make things more aggravating, after washing the motor down to get fid of the oil, my charge light will not go off.. Just gotta love those british cars..
