[QUOTE="ozziedog, post: 597301, member: 13810"] Hi there, and glad you could join us. I'm guessing you've found out or maybe knew that there is always something to be done with these older lovely beasties. There isn't much that hasn't been covered on this forum at least a half a dozen times. The main thing is maintenance, which to others might seem like constant tinkering, but when these were new the service intervals were something like three to five thousand as opposed to some modern jobbies where you can go to twenty plus thousand between services. So keep an eye on your oil and check before every journey until you get to know how much your particular motor will consume, and they will use some oil and usually the harder you drive them, the more you use. As a new owner I'd always start with an oil change and drive with a litre or so for topping up enroute. Ozziedog,,,,,,, ask away, and welcome :mrgreen: [/QUOTE]
