Still can't believe how much the brakes have improved since taking the FAM7821 out of the system.

It's time to accept that old cars don't work as a daily driver, especially if it's your only car.

I disagree, my mini's my only car, commutes every day. Have to agree that it's a fair bit of maintenance though!

I think that's important. If the Mini was restored to a high standard and the weekly/monthly checks are done, it will be fine.
My problem was I didn't do part 1, the car was never decommissioned and given a full resto, so sometimes parts seem to fail in succession, making me rather disheartened.

That said, as stated above, it's such a fun daily driver and it's getting easier to fix things when they break... for now.

Does not sound good...I tend to have asbestos hands but have a crusty burn from the side of a very hot piston looking at it, the 3 stripes are from the alloy ring lands, the rings must have been a bit cooler
