    The NOS SU fuel pump rebuild kit arrived in its 1977 MOD packaging and I replaced all the parts in my pump. I put it back on the car and after spinning over for a few seconds she burst into flames life. Yay...happy dance. As I was able to put the pipework back exactly as before...

    P38A Water in the footwell - both sides

    It's probably beads of sweat falling from your anxious forehead as you look intently for the problem. ;) When I first got my 2000MY P38 the footwells were so wett there was surface water like a puddle. Stealer took it back and claimed the screen sealant had failed. Only other ingress has been...

    Getting Gwen the Mini to Run.

    Well, I can't be sure but the ABD1001 pump has a vent hole in the lower half so that on the down/pull stroke of the diaphragm the air pressure created on that side of the diaphragm has somewhere to go while the fuel is pulled in the top side. Fuel was to be seen dripping out of this...

    Getting Gwen the Mini to Run.

    Hmmmm.... petrol pump was weeping fuel. Not the best thing to have dripping in the vicinity of a hot exhaust pipe is it? A shiny new pump arrived yesterday but "curses" the input-output pipes are fixed in their positions such that the output points straight at the exhaust. The old SU original...

    ...Brian across the street is currently being attended to by the ambulance service. 96 YO, found unresponsive in bed this morning. Initially they thought a stroke, but now they reckon its a UTI that has laid him low. Hope T'old fella gets better.

    Getting Gwen the Mini to Run.

    Whole bodyshell is like new after the rebuild. I have an MOT scheduled for tomorrow. :) Interestingly, I took it out today and in the first part of my journey I had to turn left and then up a steep hill, it lacked power and we got the pre-detonation in the inlet side. I pulled the choke out...
