Took nearly 9 hours in total to get out, stranded lorry caused the motorway to stop, which then froze over. Then the highways land rover causing a roadblock for the gritters at the front set alight. The same happened last night too, (really!) with people being trapped over night there. -7 with no heat even with the engine idling, been feeling cold all day today aha. Decided to work from home today.. :)

I've had a Battery regularly sit at 11.9v and still be able to start the mini, but then it does help that older cars don't have loads of electrics to power up.

The wife has cut right back too, hopefully she will quit completely. I do feel myself getting short tempered now and then but I'm determined.

Tis the Devils work - I've affectionately named the Mini "Gizmo" from the Gremlins - you can't get them wet (or feed them after midnight...)

Why are people always surprised when they find rust on a Mini LOL It was included as an unoptional extra on them from new...
Feb 13 2018 06:38 PM -
TobyM2018
If only someone had told me that beforehand. Besides it's not so much finding the rust... It's finding quite so much!!!

Yep. Lots more parts to buy. A bit daunting to be honest. Also sold me a 2wd cosworth intercooler. :) He will also be doing my cylinder head in a month or so. Doing it properly, no shortcuts.
Feb 11 2018 05:14 PM -
Vinay-RS
Agreed. Don't take shortcuts with the a performance motor build.
