You will always have periods where it's dead as where a specific topic forums and if people don't have anything to say about the topic there nothing to post. Hopefully my build thread will be updated by the end of the week.

When the clutch goes on the van and the clutch/gearbox on the saloon has gone at the same time.

I take it you don't change the oil every 4k miles. :)

That's about right Haha, rocker cover gasket has been leaking that's the main problem - the engine its self doesn't 'use' much at all got to get around to that gasket!

Yep, I've had the same problem in the past. :(

South African customer service is probably the worst in the world. As a friend put it: They act as if they are doing you a favour by taking your money and doing a rubbish job.

Am I right in thinking the late minis, mpi years, had the same engine, cooper or not (apart from the works stuff etc..)

What are the differences on the SPi and the SPi Cooper? I thought those were mainly rebadged.

different cam, higher compression ratio, ecu gave a richer mixture, different final drive

If your restoring a car do it right as one day you might sell that car on. That car may go on to carry children round/family. I've been told by a couple of people "lucky you never crashed it" I would not mind but apparently Pingu had been restored/repaired twice since 2007!

Restored seems to be just another way of saying I slapped an industrial size tin of body filler all over it, tacked on some over sills and made it look pretty.

You are right!
Feb 10 2016 01:19 PM -

yep. Sounds about right unfortunately. :(

Everyone that knew Pingu asked why was we getting him restored, I just had feeling something was not right and I was right. :0(

Can't decide on either an SW5 or SW8 for my daily, any experience? Got an sw10 currently in my other, which is soon to have a 276 instead.

Didn't think about AC's cams, the saga continues haha
Had a 266 in my borrowed (from dad) 1275 and it was awesome, thinking the SW5, don't want it too tame, but then I've been dealing with the SW10 which is a hoot on cam, but a dog when off aha.

Forgot this is going in an MPi block, but i'm not using the cam sensor, so I don't think it matters cam wise? i.e. normal carb cam will be fine?
Feb 10 2016 10:24 PM -
Fast Ivan
yes a normal cam should work, cant think of a reason why not.
