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

Been in shed sorting out all my tools & evicting everything out my tool boxes thats not a tool, managed to do 2 drawers 🤣 🤣 Ive got some amount of useful stuff that I dont need atm :oops:

Hope they do a good job for you, tell em not to lean it off too much, might look good on emissions but the Mini loves fuel. It'll be fine, best of luck with it :)

Cut me grass this morning. Then got ready to apply the weed feed n moss killer. But the instructions say don't apply until four days after cutting. So it's still in the sack.
