... and so things go from bad to worse. Wifey does her best to accommodate the visit of a technician to fit her Mum's house up for a full "old folks monitoring package". Bloke arrives and says, ok what's your mum's Amazon account and internet...

And a special bent spanner just for the Mini carb ...

I'd help him fall over a couple of times, just for fun ...

4 ceiling spaces, 3 rooms. Does that give a clue. Sorry if I came across as abrupt but they like it here as an easy solution. To me a plasterboard wall in a bathroom is asking to do it again in a few years. Stud wall sound proofing is not good...

Sounds OK to me. Certainly a load more oomph than a standard Mini. In fact I am shocked that mine was therefore one that had been breathed on, never knew that, I was just given it, (Kevved!)🤣🤣 it by a member of my club, who had taken the seats...

Been a miserable day today 65mm of rain and strong winds plus the mountain hares have eaten all my pinks of, my be a long night comming up soon , and a game stew reward 🐇🐰+🌒+🔫=🍜

Well puddin me! I thought it was an open space. :rolleyes:

Don't no if it's the same over there but we get all different size Knuffbord depending on your centres half

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...

Right, on closer inspection it looks as if the MS thingy W bought me bypasses accounts and stuff, so hopefully one less thing to worry about. Good on yer! so you'll be putting up studs etc and dry lining etc once t'ceilings up, I suppose. And...

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...

Our lounge is 8x5 (i think) the 7x9 is split into 3 spaces (4 ceiling spaces) 1x bathroom (gonna have a bath in this 1:)) 1 bedroom area (half of the total) and another area for just the " Grand enterance" to the east wing:oops:. I sometimes...

Why do you need 11? whats loaded already? Oh..... is it the gearbox issue or Ws impending ops? Does the party have to move a few weeks :vb-party: 🤔. J

As we now have more time before we go I decided to start up my noo Samsung Galaxy Book 4!! It is now charging. I have downloaded and printed off all sorts of helpful stuff off the net as I have never done this before, all ours have been done by...

Agree with that cos that is exactly what mine showed when blokey did it. Which was a amazing considering how old the engine was. Maybe the sports down pipes and exhaust put a little bit back. Mine was on the standard MG Metro diff and box. If i'd...

If the size of the wing is 7 x9 metres that is a huge space. Our living room is 8 x 5 so only 2/3 of yours.WOW! What are you goin to do with it? Billiards room and bowling alley? 🤣 🤣

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, :)

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"...

Expect a write up in your Mini fred of what he found/did. But great news now for the fun drives :D. J

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. :(

Motybike.

Is this on a motypike? A rotary engine? A distributor? Soz for your pain and all that. :(

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. :(

🤣 🤣

Too late for me, I forgot to edit, so you dropped me in the smellie stuff!! I've gone back and "cleaned up after you" now!! 🤣 🤣 🤣

Sitting here waiting for Britney Ferries to answer the phone, or rather for someone to talk to me. You can't alter a booking online if a disabled person is involved :rolleyes::rolleyes:. Land Rover fixit man has dropped the bombshell that we...
