Saw an old woman in a pristine looking Austin today; I even got a wave! Young + Old united. :)

    Yeah, I'd hate to be gay and unable to admit it...

Stupid question; Can I presume that a 1275 MPi engine is an actual 'A series' engine?

    Yes, though they don't have a dizzy drive hole which preludes a straight swap with a SPI or carbed 1275

Just to clear this up; you are able to spot weld with a MIG welder, correct?

    Cool. So most people on here, when they re weld panels back on, use plug welding?

It's started. I just thought to myself "Ooh, I haven't been into the garage to say hello to the mini today."

So I want to get the underside of my car steam cleaned (or any other process that will do the same thing). Anyone recommend any places in Kent that do it for a fair price?

Looking at other valuations, starting to think that at £3600 I paid too much for my mini.. :S

    Just had a look at them. Sounds alright. I just need a back-up plan, that's all :)

    You can hire a 10x5 trailer for £20 for 24hrs, you just need a mate with a towbar..

Quick Question; do all 16v engines have 'dual overhead camshafts'? Which means that every engine that has two intake and two exhaust valves would be said to have dual overhead cams?
Nov 12 2011 08:22 PM
  • RawlinsGTR's Photo
    RawlinsGTR
    Riight, okay. Thanks. And I presume that the cam in a mini engine isn't actually overhead?

    nope, off to one side next to the crank, pushrods transfer the motion to the top of the cylinder heads where rockers move the valves up and down.
