Did a skid round a round about while it snowed.

Took a trip up to the hills. A lot windier up there than I thought. Shouldn't have worn a skirt...

Took a trip up to the hills

Just above Charlesworth, Derbyshire? I had a close shave with death in a Mini years ago when the drum brakes faded at the "chicane" at the bottom of that hill. My fault though, going too fast for the conditions.....

Indeed it was, well spotted!

Gave the 4pots a test, that and dodging the snow mounds that were taking up most of the road, with oncoming drivers driving well into my side

Glad i did them now as i found it quite an easy job to do. Easier job than i was expecting to be honest.

I should have added that today I got everything electrical working again. So it's back to standard electrically speaking. That is thanks to all the great advice I've had from forum members (you know who you are, really appreciate it).

Just a sidelight bulb to replace in the morning, then I think she is ready for her MoT at the end of the month.

Cheers

Read about my self in Mini Mag (I'm just that vain).

9.5 hours on the Mini today.

I have a bag for screen wash, so removed that from the car and gave it a good soak and rinse. Rewired the screen wash motor and reran the screen wash hoses.

Cut a new small wiring hole in the bulkhead and grommeted it.

Degreased and cleaned the bulkhead in the engine bay.

Removed rad, cowl fan and all hoses including heater hoses. Then removed the heater. Then steady bar.

Sanded and cleaned cowl, steady, steady bar. Degreased again. Three coats of spray gloss, drying now. Rad went in the skip, new one arrived from W&P.

Then pulled heater takeoff (to be replaced by a tap) and the thermo hosing. All cleaned up and ready to refit.

Hopefully, do the reverse tomorrow with new silicone hoses.

Cheers

Ian
