How does everyone put these blooming things in I can't seem to work it out as there is no room under neath and none on top. Surely you don't need to take the engine out everytime you replace the speedo cable???
Please help if you can as I am dying to get this thing running once and for all.
Thanks.
Adam.

Ok cool I will try that tomorrow. I've never taken the timing cover off before but I take it that it is easy to get to?Take the rad and timing cover off, When I did my timing chain I noticed it was in a nice and easy to get to spot.
@fikus01 yep the speedo definatly worked before I changed the engine.

Just when I did my timing cover I was sitting on my arse in front of El Gordo and noticed it was right there. Never looked again after that.

How did you manage to sit on your arse and look directly at it? Have you got a removable front on your Mini?Well to take the timing chain cover off you need a 1.5inch socket. Might be able to get round the timing cover tho with the rad out.

As I wouldn't be able to see it on mine but just do it by feel.
