Yes, just a little. As long as I don't go crazy with the PUSH effort it seems to cope. :) Weird seeing as one day last week I could not walk up or down the stairs on the right leg. As the trike is e-assist I am not having to do all the work I am just adding to the e-assist level and ensuring...

...took the Mini out for a blatt round the town, no problems noticed. Will check the plugs later. Also took the trike out and did a 10 mile loop around Canvey Island in the sunshine. :D That's twice in just few days. :)

Morning All. :D Another scorcher for us I think. :) Might go out on the trike later. Have a great day. :D

Traffic Circle if you don't mind. They do have them, but not very many. ;)

Oh mate. Commiserations on your terrible loss. We all feel for you at this sad time. 😢

No, far more old-skool NA 1275 Metro. :)

... I saw the MIL in hospital this PM. Not great, but brighter than last time. Kept reporting to me that there were flies all over her bed sheets and occasionally that I had flies all over my face. I kept telling her there were no flies and that it's just "floaters" in her eyes. Her leg wound...

OK, so here are the very sooty BP6ES plugs. All equally awful, no special standout cases. I shall pop some BP5ES's in (hotter plugs I think). I hope they don't do any damage, and it might burn off the carbon. :)

...brownie-points have been earned. Broken wind-sculpture welded back together and working again. :) Sausage bacon & egg brunch in a short while. Visiting the old MIL in hosp this PM. :)

Baps are boobies round here. ;)

Morning All. :D A decent nights kip but then the NDN resumed his DIY building works at 08:56. He is hammer & chiselling out masonry. The noise travels straight through the ground and up our side-wall. :( Looks like a nice day out there, coffee required, BBL. Have a lovely day. :D

Well I would agree with you entirely. The spiel from the raffling org said it was all "souped up" with a stage 2'd head but when I got in touch with the previous owner directly before me he said it was a standard 1275 Metro lump in a Morris Mini Minor 1000 Shell and not a stage 2 head etc. etc...

I have an excess of soot on all plugs. I will pull all 4 tomorrow and take a picture (hopefully a decent one) to show y'all. I have a set of BPE5 plugs I could put in to see if they stay cleaner as they run hotter, but the book does say BPE6's for a 1275. Thanks for the advice, much appreciated. :)

Yes indeed, it left no trace. The oil is still clear from the last change so no black trail. I did put a tell-tale there and it came away clean and dry (still is) but after tightening the cover T-bolt a bit more the seep/leak has clearly stopped.

Stirrer! ;)

OK it is time to "fess-up". It was the rocker gasket after all. :) The LH screw-down T-Bolt was not as tight as the RH side one. One extra quarter turn (to match the resistance felt on the RH side one) and the leak stopped. So well done all you gasket's-borked callers (Henry, Dippypud etc.)

Been out for a quick blatt around town in the mini. :) It always makes me smile. Oil leak sorted it seems. :) Worried a bit about over-fuelling and bore-washing the engine, but hard to say without an AFR gauge fitted. Nearly time for afternoon Coffee. :D

Nice thread, thanks for sharing. :)

Hi ya WL, hope all is well andthe new job suits. :)

Morning All. :D A bit of crash-bang-wallop from the skies at midnight, cool & damp now. :) No plans ATM for today. I really did get burnt on the cycle ride yesterday. :( Down a bit more on the diet, so I shall keep going. :) Have a good day! :D
