I haven't gotten the 71 Spitfire yet. There's been some logistical problems.
I still intend to put an oil gauge to the motor to check the true
level. Several people have suggested that the oil sending unit could very
likely be at fault.
Also, the owner told me that he is using 5W30 oil.
And he faxed me a page from the owner's manual.
It says :
Oil Pressure Warning Light
An indicator at the bottom centre of the dial glows green when the
ignition is switched on and is extinguished as the engine speed
increases. Should the indicator continue to glow when driving away, stop
the engine and check the sump oil level. If this is satisfactory, have the
lubrication system check immediately.
That could be interpreted to mean that the oil light glowing at idle is to
be expected, but....
Well, anyway, I'm waiting to hear from the owner when he can deliver the
car. We'll see what happens.
Thanks for all the advise. How anyone ever owned a LBC before e-mail is
beyond me.
