went to source some squeaking, noticed an engine mount bolt missing. hopefully squeak is gone and and engine is now more secured.

replaced both of the rear rubber brake hoses - perished & leaking!

Just drove it, for the second unseasonably dry and sunny day in a row. Nice to get some more time out in it before it is put to bed for the winter. Got a thumbs up from a guy in an old triumph stag, and some waves from some fairly drunk guys coming out the pub!

Removed the inner pot joints to replace the hub seals before fitting the engine back in the car. Still need to do the gear selector shaft seal as well......ho hum it never ends.

Paid someone else to do stuff I can't do, and tell me I needed to do stuff I couldn't figure out myself ... and then paid them to do that as well.
Also felt I got decent value for money. Which was a pleasant change.

Ordered a new to to me alternator to replace my unreliable one without a tensioner. Also bought some second hand shocks to replace my knackered gaz ones that may have not been working! Shall wait and see!

Started the centre speedo conversion.
Only the speedo cable and dash liner to fit. Completed bravely without a wiring diagram.
I was dreading rust but all sound.

Did you change from the speedo in front of your steering wheel to a central speedo???

Do you happen to have 3 clocks you want to get rid of?

Today the revering lights on my blue auto are going to work.

Yesterday i found no continuity in the G/BR wire from the switch to the back end, no continuity in the G wire from the heated rear window, though the heated rear window switch does have power. The reverse light switch itself works (checked with multimeter & the reverse lights themselves work when I put power to them via a connector in the boot.

So I suspect connectors in both G/BR & G wires.

I have been considering this conversion is it a particularly straight forward conversion. I have a 3 clock mini. Have seen minispares do a loom conversion for this and I will probs also wire in a tacho in front of the steering wheel. Is there anything else I would need to consider. And had anyone else used the loom from minispares ... Sorry to hijack thread.
