Hey guys..!! Thanks so much for the help so far... It has original wiper motor (AND it works..!) which has stamped 68 at the bottom. So I presume that its a 68.

I know the next question is gonna sound stupid, but how do you make these things go backwards..?? I am pulling the gearstick to the right expecting to find a gap to pull it down into reverse, but there doesnt seem to be anything there. I have already had to get out and push it to complete a 3 (make that 5) point turn..!!!!! :oops:

(please dont laugh.. it took me an hour to realise the button on the floor was for the high beams...!)

On a Mini before 1973, you hit the lever across to the right, hard.. :wink:

Whereas on later minis you have to lift the stick (pull it up) about 1cm and take it to the right and back - Kind of a lame system really makes you fell like a monkey on a space ship.

Thats right, you just need to belt the stick as hard as you can :x and it will work - mine is always followed by a huge
CRUNCH or CLUNCK or something
