- 1989 560 SEL AMG Japanese Import | 2014 A180 CDI AMG SPORT
So i got round to M.O.T & taxing my 560 SEL 1989, 2nd time i started it up the oil pressure went to 2 then dropped to 1.5 then goes up to 2 when my foots down then go back to 1.5 then occasionally goes to 3, any ideas what may be causing it?
FYI- to pass MOT it only needed ball joint dust cover replacing off side, offside drag link end ball cover, they deteriorated. While i was there i got them to weld mid exhaust pipe as its worn away from speed bumps over in china, but car is rust free underneath & body, testament to previous owner, I also will be getting it waxed sprayed undernearth some next time week. From a friend who owes me a favour to.
Tax gone up to £230 though, inevitably
Best part about it, it only cost £70 in labour & £9 in parts, mid-welding was free & so was the ego boost.
Fully tanked the car with petrol & took it for a nice cruise & a few erons, nice start to bank hol, hope everyone else is enjoying theirs too! Gona take the Mrs for a cruise later she don't like the car, refers to it as the old car.
