Well, it was yesterday and the day before... but...

 

All three spots wired in...

 

And two words:  Central locking.

Fitted new rocker cover gasket and oil filler cap . Not much to most of you but at just 48 years old I’ve got arthritis in my hands, so without help most jobs are impossible. So today is a good day ?

Made the 300-mile journey from the south coast to the lake district in *relative* comfort... I never thought a 998-powered Mini would make such a good motorway cruiser!

Got the interior light working properly - dodgy connection at the fuse box.
Finally got the idle speed & mixture set reasonably. Still needs a proper tune though.

Removed and cleaned out the remote gear casing. The amout of grease that was in here! 
Aslo the rawlpin was on its way out! 

Bushings worn so a lot of slop. Going to replace. You can see in the bottom photo how thin the front busings is compared to the rear.
Might adapt a rodend for the alu "eye" or just use the ball as the plasic one on the end of the lever is a bit janky.
