My Co driver and I have had a quite heated argument. Please help settle it. He wants to start stripping the cylinder head off the engine and service it. I say we should get the car running and MOT'd first, then do it if we have time. We have 8 weekends left before we set off on the mongol rally, two of which I can't work on the car.

How much experience of Minis do you each have?.
From 50 years of 'playing' with Minis, the only reason to take the head off an engine that is going OK, would be to check the size of the exhaust valve, and carry a spare.
I admire your choice of car. I'd have picked a 4X4 Panda.

I've had a mini since I was 16 and currently own two. I know some of the history of the engine as the car used to be my daily drive when I was 17. The engine ran when removed.

The rally organisers said no 4wd this year. I think they were fed up of people using suzuki jimnys and panda 4x4

I've got one but it's not the same - it's helps a little though. The hedgetrimmer stinks of two stroke oil so that's no good.

Just completed my first long-distance road-trip in the Mini. I'm so proud of the car!

You're in SA aren't you Vinay? Sounds like a fine run out, I'd have to go from one end of this island to the other 30 times!

Yeah, SA is quite a big country. The roads in the western cape aren't too bad either. Haha! Race track timed laps around the island :P

escargot you could have the ramps down while driving it?? hmm!
Enclosed trailer can be the brian james ones for example, or could be a converted caravan chassis that you make a frame work for yourself... Plus also, you only have to tax and insure the tow car...

the issue in the uk is that you have to have an old timers license to tow a car trailer legally I've got a hgv license so a big lorry isn't an issue just getting to where i need to take it down a tight lane is

Just used gurgle, and it seems that the opposite is the case.
If you passed your car driving test on or after 1 January 1997 you can: drive a car or van up to 3,500kg maximum authorised mass ( MAM ) towing a trailer of up to 750kg MAM. tow a trailer over 750kg MAM as long as the combined MAM of the trailer and towing vehicle is no more than 3,500kg.
