My SR and Sport drop at tick over @ 1/2 way, goes to top of scale when engine revs are up
What oils in it?
10/40
What's quite low?
if you have a "shit Idle" it could be that the oil pump isn't fast enough to get the pressure up and the light out.
Been a bit of a up and down day tbh
Good points are
Mot'd
Brakes are OK now the rust has cleared off the discs
Done 80 miles
Found the knocking noise, caliper bolts needed doing up with a breaker bar and a scaffold pole lol
Bad points
Cannot get to the bottom of the idling problem :(
Reset the timing with a light,
Adjusted the linkage correctly
It will idle fine when it gets up to temperature on the spot
But when I drive it, it runs mega cool
Just above the blue line on the gauge
So when I come to a stop it has to get hot again to idle correctly
I'm thinking my alloy radiator maybe a problem?
Any ideas on this anyone?
This idling crap is really pissing me off now
Oh and a bolt fell out of my gear linkage
Few pictures of the day

I'm happy but still lots to do

Admire those pics and the niggles will soon be forgotten until another day....:thumb:
If it is OK when hot I just wonder if the idle control is working correctly, did you reposition the unit to the mechanical petrol pump on the cam housing?
PS.............. looks fantastic!
Icv is back in the original position
