Compression pressure

[John Cornforth]

I spent my university days in north Wales. A friend had an enthusiastically driven tuned mini, and was always fretting about the reading on the oil pressure gauge. On the narrow roads lined with stone walls, it was a bit nerve wracking for me as a passenger when his eyes were off the road. I found the solution one day by raiding the first aid kit and sticking an elastoplast over the b...y thing ! Moral - gauges aren't always a blessing.
