My oil pressure gauge wasn't working

a little bit of oil under engine.. small drip [no not Me]
I also need to raise the front off the shock rubbers..
and replace a tyre I wrecked last week when the air valve rubber split... and the tyre went down...
until it was only flat on the bottom.. still is.. lol

Well yesterday was a beautiful day and managed to get the painting all done (4 guards, bonnet & deck lid).
So now all that's on the list is reassembly, some quick trailer mods, fluids check, tappets and change wheels & tyres... plus doing the usual 9-5
of course... may even squeeze in some time for a cut & polish !!!

Did a wheel cylinder on the rear brakes driving into the garage this morning, Better now than half wayto Valla, no fluid on the road where I had it
parked or on the drive, didn't notice the leak till 3.00pm, fluid started about a metre into the garage, have replaced cylinder and shoes, starting
on the other side (why not?) then waiting till tomorrow for a hand to bleed em. Thank you Mr. Nymeyer.
I dream of a day when a chicken can cross a road without being asked for it's motive!

Adjusted rear brakes.
Cleaned and reoiled air filter.
