The only issue we had with our SWB Saloon during our recent holiday was that the oil gauge started flicking rapidly. For a pressure of 10psi it would flick wildly between 5psi and 15psi. Did this from our second day. Standard David Harcourt 20psi gauge. Drove for 200 miles or so like that with no ill effects on the engine to the point I ignored it after a while. Decided I should have a look this afternoon so, doing the simple things first, I substituted the gauge from the Trials Chummy. Steady oil pressure, no flicking at all. So, looks like the DH gauge but to check, fitted it to the Chummy. Worked perfectly with a steady needle. Fitted the DH gauge back in the Saloon and it now works perfectly in there as well.
