Is it normal for spitfires to have noisy valves (I assume that's what's
making the ticking noise).  Saskia's seem to be quite noisy - you can
hear them clearly when driving along, or is this an indication of
something nasty waiting to happen?

Another thing that I have noticed and dismissed as a spitfire quirk is
the oil light turning on under heavy braking, do other spitfires do this?

cheers
