thanks again, got my battery light sorted and its charging fine. replaced the split oil return pipe to, gave her a good hot scrub and its like a different car now she is clean

took it for a run up the road and it blew the gasket from manifold to turbo, something else to add to the list of jobs to do.

unfortunately she wont be staying standard for long, over the years ive been hoarding bits for these, changing the lights, exhaust and lowering it a bit, all things that can easily be reversed tho
