Not sealing down properly as well then. Just put a new (decent) flush valve into it yourself

Well it did fill and then two thirds of it would flush away, but after last flush it runs from cistern into bowl constantly and water running into cistern trying to top it up but failing so I'm back to flushing with a bucket of water :(

It's full, actually slightly overflowing, it doesn't actually empty, always about a third full even after a flush EDIT, flushed it and the cistern is emptying constantly now

Is your cistern full of water (once finished refilling)?

:D Toilet paper takes two flushes and then it gets sucked slowly away at the very last minute

That would make quite a floater imo.

I think they were based on aircraft seatbelts ...

I screwed half a sheet of A4 paper up and it wouldn't flush it away, took 3 flushes !

Modern loos are rubbish aren't they? So often. But the flush being slow is weird. Ours flush quick enough there just often isn't sufficient volume of watter to shift stuff. And of course the float is adjusted up to the max.

I had forgotten about the lights in the rear bins! And yes only my ma's had the chrome catches, although my first one was a 1963 de luxe it had the placcy ones. I could never afford a Cooper, or, more importantly, the insurance. I had a bad habit...

... I have to find £3,500 to keep my middle lad afloat for a month. :( All donations gratefully received (used £10 notes in plain brown envelopes are especially welcome. :) Or maybe I should start a "GoFundMe" page and see if anyone bites...

Yes, the early mk1 had the chrome push button window catches, changed to plastic arround 65. I had 62 Austin Mini de lux in 1966, it had lights in the rear bins as well as under binicle on dash same as the Cooper. I also had a 66 Cooper in atound...

Mornin Clear and sunny but chilly Bin men bin, highlight of my Thursday morning :D New toilet flush very slow, need chuck a bucket of water in to flush proper :( Anyway, suns out so going to Cafe for a full English :) Stay busy all

Next thing you know he'll be hanging out with holly bushes an smoking weeds down by the railway..

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..... 🤣 🤣
