washed car for an hr or so with weather beinge nice , checked under bonnet . drained my oil catch tank and topped the engine up with oil, all was good off i went for a drive.
did about 10 miles but kept gettin a whiff of crank case gasses every now n then , thought i might be the catch tank leaking abit. pulled up opened bonnet . oh what a spud i was, saw the inlet cam turning around... forgot to put the oil cap back on didnt i , oil was absoluley everywhere .. so spent 2 hrs gunking the engine and washing the car again so after all that i thought id be a chav ad do a speedo vid .. i chose a private (of course) plowed field, well it felt like one at speed

Does it actually top out at 130 or is it just the limiter on the speedo?
