With short trips and cold days you will get that, all ok with a long motaway run you will find it all gone. Also with the long filler neck it will have condension more on the cap and neck with the 2.6 and 3.2. I get just the same as you.

Hope that is of some help :y

You will get a bit of mayo on short journeys during the colder months, check it after a longer run when the oil has had chance to fully heat up, I suspect it will be fine.

You need 51 posts before you can use the Sales Board.  This is, I believe, policy to stop folks joining just to sell.

The +50 post rule is really to stop traders using the site as a pimping ground really I think. Have a quiet word (PM) with admin, either 'MarksDTM' or TheBoy'. If they know you're a car enthusiast with an honest car to sell, I don't think they will have any objections and will point you in the right direction as far as posting the ad is concerned.

So what did you get to replace the Omega???
