I prefer digestive plain or rich tea, quick dunk then down the hatch,

helps with the concentration

As mentioned they can last - all four of mine are original at 397k miles and still in good shape.

Nice to know. Mine has done less than a third of yours, Mike, and running fine.

PS I'll go for Brexit if we can ditch European time for Chocolate Hob-nob time. Gonna convert all my clocks, - what is the conversion to HN/hr?

Try checking the engine's Oil Pressure Sender.

They do fail occasionally. And when they do, they cut the engine off instantly.

They're typically a £7 part, and less than a hour to change.
