[ROVERNET - UK] P6 oil pump

[Paul Smith]

Ok.
1.  Alternator is in.  Works wonderfully.
2.  Speedo is functional.  It had seized, so the output of the rightangle 
was Stopped, input kept turning.  Dismantled cluster, lubricated speedo. 
That's the short version...
3.  Replaced sender for oil pressure, all ok.
4.  Brake master died in the interim.  That has turned in to a horrible 
saga.  Basically the pipes on the SC won't seal in the master out of the 
TC...
