Mine ? No cat at all

Checked spare wheel Renewed pollen/cabin filter And sorted some suface rust in boot (more underneath I suspect)

Can't find a cat on my 2009 FL2 , I was under there yesterday 🤔

Clutch down sensor switch ?

Mornin Warm and sunny Watered me plants early Cleaning Freelander boot area today, get it nice for the road trip, noticed a handy 12v socket in there for me kettle :p Chinese shooting stick arrived this morning, better quality than expected :) Stay cool all :)

Thanks I'll drain some out. Looks like its half a litre or so too much Oil didn't go instantly black when I started it so that's a good sign Next service will be easier now I know what I'm doing Scotland / Ireland here I come :D :D

Now he tells me :D Ended up pulling it up from above after a brew. Put seven litres of oil in as per handbook and its showing about an inch and a half overfull on the stick Ran it for a minute or two and still the same ???

Most common carb needle in the day for a 1275 was a DZ, used by Austin, Riley, Morris etc for their standard 1275 motors with single inch and a half (38) carb BTW.

If it's not smoking and burning oil then that's a bit rich, post a pic of your needle next chance you get please :)

Standard 1275 will go really well with the right diff, 3.4 is best all round Have fun :)

Managed to undo the oil filter (F2 TD4) and wiggle it down Then it tipped and the oil went down my arm and into my armpit, prob get into my brain from there ffs Left it to drip into the tray while I have a brew and scrub up, gloves were worn so no dirty finger nails :p

Mornin and welcome Is it a series two ?

Mornin Happy Fathers day (is it today?) Some beer and a card appeared in my kitchen while I was out last night anyway 😊 Cloudy bright here, just sold a wood vice, got another and a large proper one left to sell. GF bringing a bacon roll / bap / muffin / barm or whatever you call it, think a...

Just a thought... On a non standard engine throw the reference books away :)

I've had more than ten Minis, gave up counting I've only ever had one that ran with light brown plugs and it burned an exhaust valve out. If you're anywhere from light grey to black without soot then it'll be fine :)

I'm pleased with the motor so far as is the GF, she pinches it at every opportunity, fink it makes her feel a bit more important than being seen in her Honda Jazz :p This stuff is CHF202 And I'll need around 2 litres to do the job and buying 5Ltr is cheaper than 2Ltr Seeing as I'm probably...

CHF Synthetic Central Hydraulic Fluid Power Steering CHF11S CHF202 5 Litre 5L Recon this should be ok, what do ya think ?

Found some green stuff local but not chf202, will that do ?

Just took some fluid from deep in the resevoir

Be easier driving up on the kerb and doing one side/end at a time :)
