I once changed a Mini steering wheel for an older lady who was struggling with parking, I replaced it with one from a Stag I think, bigger wheel made steering so much easier for her at low speeds. The Mk2 Mini's had the switches set further back...

My first two Minis had them, you could buy extensions to them so I did, made it a bit less of a pain on your back, especially once you had moved the wheel nearer you. You could also buy push-on extra long rubber switch extensions for the lights...

Just looked up similar plates There are none available Nearest is E1 CSU which is 999 quid Can't get three letters three numbers they're just not available (from DVLA)

That surprises me. When I suggested that, I was thinking more along the lines of £250 o £500. The V5c would say if it was non-transferable or not. The one on my D1 300tdi is like that.

Yup. Always leave room for a top-up :D

Glass always half empty then 😃

Number plate prob worth a grand

Forgot to put me bins out a day early (BH weekend) :rolleyes:. But found a small hammer which has been missing for weeks - while I was looking for another tool which has only been lost for 24 hours.

Waay Haay!:banana: Got the Disco back. The noo box is smooth and sooo quiet. :):):) So very pleased. And blokey only charged £1020 to include the 2nd hand box, the labour (£350) noo transfer box oil and noo ATF for the gear box. To think the...

The lad was in today, he got a better look at it last night as I said it was rotten which turns out its too far gone. Shame.

🤣 🤣 🤣 Deffo not the doors!! Yer never know the engine might be worth a bob or two as well.

Mornin Shower of rain overnight but clearing now Bathroom fitter did repairs to new bathroom yesterday but cistern still leaking (bodge didn't work) :rolleyes: Going to wash the Freelander (very carefully) today :D Also planting sunflower seeds...

Boot lid bonnet and doors are worth more than that :) (maybe not the doors) looks like a Mk2 but plates are pre that

Its got the back bench seat only, it does look like great fun. He did mention 200 sovs so its 100 quid in my book. He wants a metal staircase which we have but wanted to swap.

Morning All. :D Sunny, but very breezy here. :) Today I am requested to do some carpet cleaning with my Vax Spotwash where the MIL has had a little "accident". :eek: Poor old gal, definitely nearing the end stage now, she asks for food...

Got offered this today..... 🤣 🤣

As reported elsewhere the mini has been all tuned up on a rolling road. :) Horrendously expensive (£562) but the results seem to be good. It really does go well now. What did he find wrong? 1. Incorrect coil (he reports that it had a "points"...

One other small update. I undid the steering rack U-bolts and installed a "drop bracket" to lower the steering column, then did them up again (of course). Now I can see all the gauges without leaning forwards in the seat. The auto-cancellation...

I bow to your superior knowledge gents I looked up the Metro engine online and it said: The standard 1275cc MG Metro engine typically delivers around 57-72 bhp (brake horsepower). A 1275cc engine used in the Metro, which was sourced from the Mini...

Not bad :) Standard MG Metro 1275 was 72bhp but that was prob at the flywheel 1098cc motor was about 45bhp Should go well with 62 depending on what diff is in it, :)

Got the Mini back. Drives very nicely without any dramas now. :) Not a monster by any means. Dyno said 62BHP and 72.6lb/ft I gave it some beans on the way home on the A130, it felt quite sporty. Costapacket. :(

Hurt my little finger this morning. Pulling a rotor off a crank shaft and it didn't want to move. When it did it came away suddenly and whacked my finger end against a bolt. Ouch. All hurty now. :(

My Daffs came up as usual this year but haven't flowered yet
