The Mini had a good run out to Beaulieu where I purchased a new steering wheel and front mats, I then went on to the Isle of Wight for a week, while there I popped in to see Ben to arrange for some work to be done later on in the year, the car has however developed a creak from the front suspension (front knuckle joints ?) and an exhaust blow as a result of going over a very high speed hump.

Didn't see you.  I did the same Beaulieu and IOW

Thought I would change the carb float and needle valve to a Minispares ethanol resistant stay up float, I also gave the underside a good clean and noticed that there are a few areas where the paint needs some attention, the car is booked in with Ben in September so I have just treated the areas with hammerite kurust until then.
