Snap. Just like mine does (well, I dunno about the oil 'cos the gauge only
lights up to 90).

Snap again - mine started doing this on Saturday but has now returned to one
segment below "N". Its also started to idle high when hot. At cold start up
it idles at 1 segment on the tach but by the time I reach work (25 miles) it
sits at 3 segments, sometimes dropping to 2.
