    A few laps in she just gave in

    Was very unfortunate and I'm gutted I didn't realise it sooner but onwards and upwards as they say..

    Thats a shit one man all to common a problem with the rb26. you probably know this already but when you rebuild look in to getting a external head drain and a extended sump that should give you a bit of extra security against it happening again
