I would just like to say

[landowner]

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.

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 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.

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. Which I why I have been veering towards trying to treat it as "standard". But I take your point.

Morning All.
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.

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 bap is a shoe down Wiltshire
Have a lovely day all

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.

Last time, this tip was with carpet!

Yup but if I recall no-one had spare carpet so this was phase II

 

[kevstar]

Look for a griffin case. Makes the phone a bit bulky but saves damage

It had a bulky case on it but it landed face down, the shock must have killed it as it just flashes. I'll have a look at
them cases ta much.

What he is doing would be illegal over here. On a Sunday you can only mow your lawn in the morning. Can't use powertoools at all.
We have to watch it as we often want to use my big machine etc over what the frogs think is lunchtime i.e. 12 till 2 O'clock on a Weekday or a Saturday.

So not even an MG Metro engine!!
No wonder the power is lower than mine was.
Raffling lot should watch it as regards Trades Description Act.

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