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!

    You have to have a certain amount of posts on the forum before you have permission to sell here.

    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.

    then just start her up, with the vacuum lead off i think. and it will flash in time with that cylinder

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

    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!!
