44 years ago, my mini was built. Now, thanks to that length of time and about 2 services in it's entire life, everything is impossible to remove!

Just checked, either 150 posts or a TMF+ membership.

Thanks for the info. I don't have 150 posts and neither am I a TMF+ memeber, so I can't advertise here. Wonder if someone else can advertise it on my behalf?

Fitting Electronic Ignition is a great job for an amature like me to do. Felt great hearing it start up despite my messing with it!

Not yet, that is Saturdays job. I have a timing light so I just need to figure out how it works now.

timing light is normaly one on positive battery source, one onto a spark plug with a fancy adaptery thingy and one on a ground.

MOT this afternoon. The handbrake holds the car at five clicks, is this ok?

Mine holds perfectly fine at 3 too. Never picked a car up from an MOT station where they haven't wrenched it as hard as they can up to almost vertical though. Why do they do that??

o rollers, the handbrake isnt tested with clicks, but just with testers tesion.. he will just pull until it either locks the wheels or wont go up no more

Mine hold at two, as above aslong as it pulls evenly its a pass.

Its obviously posessed then, I didnt think there was one in existence!! Dread to think what the MOT man will say about mine next week! Whats the secret??

I was amazed after using the RainX glass cleaner my Dad bought. Now the wipers work amazingly well, and you don't even need to use them unless it's monsoon rain, :D

Secret is mini spares heavy duty wipers with bosch rubber and a bit of patience to bent the metal in the rubber in to the perfect shape!!
