Driving home from work and the oil light flickers while cornering hard, few miles later it starts to flicker while just cruising, pull into petrol station and check the level, its not even on the stick, buy oil (1L) still not on stick. Look under the car to see the whole undernether covered in oil, turns out the oil filter has got a tiny rust bubble that has now holed and the oil was pissing out with the car running.

Had to bodge the hole then kept topping up the oil on the way home.

Bloody typical, i use the TVR which is meant to be "unreliable" and fall apart etc. etc. all week, then use my 206D for one day, one bloody day and this happens.

Thank god for the TVR, saved me having to walk to the part place for a new filter for the Pug.
