    yeah oil level is fine , have to check it before i take it out as the sump has a small crack near one of the bolts so it leaks ,

    and it wasnt ran for long just started it and rolled out of my garage so i think it should be fine , if its dead then its turbo time

    So why are you not currently out in it down the country lanes with no oil pressure?
