SOP doesn't really clearly define it for Lp compressor
- I wasn't thinking specifics - most airlines have a "any failure below xx kts, notify and then Captain's call" text. Along the lines of

"The Captain's decision should recognise that up to xxkts, the takeoff may be rejected for any significant malfunction. At or above xxkts the take-off should be rejected only for major malfunctions."

As it seems to be a 'first time' event I reckon most of us would have stopped. The old adage (modified) applies "Better to be on the ground wondering if you should have stopped than in the air wishing you had".

20/3 still applies.... if there are problems, get it in writing and go from there, bringing in the regulatory body 'for advice' if you feel the need. Good luck.
