Btw - my ex-g/f of old once had an Iranian lodger ( he was here to avoid the Iran - Iraq war and kept failing his exams on purpose to stay here ) who bought an old Honda / Nissan whatever. One day he mentioned the oil light was on. Turned out it had been on for weeks. A quick inspection showed a lack of oil in the sump ! Literally nothing at all showing on the dipstick. It still ran though....... Graham
