Hi Jeremy, have you solved this problem yet? If so what was the answer?

I have been thinking about your fuel problem - I am not a mechanic so the following comments should be taken as well meaning NOT expert!! Your problem with flooding could still be caused by the float needle valve - the blow through using your lungs would confirm that the valve is stuck open but if i...

Good luck with the restoration - I look forward to seeing it back on the road, What time scale are you working to?

Nice job on the floor pans - ouch! Lots of money spent! I have been wondering how you have managed to preserve the grey tweed on your car - given the starship mileage! Or perhaps you have figured out what the grey cloth actually is - I reckon it is probably Jaguar but I don't know which of the tweed...

At the bottom of this Minispa...

I am sorry to read your poor experiences - but as we all know seems to be the norm these days rather than the exception. I am guessing the problem with your wheel bearing was that they did not tighten them correctly the first time - I doubt that repacking with grease would make the difference - but ...

I bought one of these - it is a nice item but IT IS NOT original or the right size - so be very careful!

I know you have owned yours since new and as such will have a fair idea who has worked on your car. Most of us will have bought cars that are at least 15 years old and perhaps have been worked on by a number of garages some with mechanics too young to know how a Mini should be jacked up. A couple of...

I knew we would get you into the clean engine bay club eventually! Not sure about the anti-run on valve since the purpose is only to vent the manifold on switch off to prevent running on - that is why the bolt does such a good job because it is blocked permanently! I notice there are two holes where...
