Any tips on cleaning the engine bay of my 1275 sprite? Good amount of grime-not been cleaned in a very long time by the previous owners. Bit nervous about it and i dont really know what to do or where to start. Doesn't need to be perfect but just better than it is.

As above. Just did mine, just be sure to cover all the electrics well and be careful when rinsing. I also ran the car after to dry everything off - word of warning, Gunk degreaser stinks. I'd try something like autoglym first.

Canon 1100D but it has low fps! Should of used my GoPro :/ but it would not of had the same effect! Hopefully when my Mini is done I will have a better camera to do it with!

Yeah, 2nd no good and, in 3rd it just feel awkward to keep it steady and not knock the engine about. Felt like a p****d kangaroo earlier.

Mine is alright with 4th just, but 3rd is preferred especially when I want to accelerate after the 30 zone

You all need to get yourselves an 850! 30mph is a nice steady speed then.

Bummer - took my daily to the local F1 autocentre and the guy offered me 2 nearly new Yokos for my Mini, the bummer? They were 13 inch and my wheels I are 12s :-(
