Following a breakdown earlier in the week due to a sudden failure of the ignition coil I fitted a new Viper coil and ignition lead set which resolved the problem.

After buying my MPi last month I have been chasing a high idle.
this week I stumped up and bought the alloy throttle body and new rubber hoses, along with new injector and idle air control valve it’s now idling in the exact range it should.

Scratching my eyes out seeing the fuel prices in general, and for E5 when I fuelled up today in the mini!
MOT booked for a few weeks, will continue more checkovers tomorrow and go from there.
