This morning I went to drive to work at per usual, but the Mini would have none of it... not a single sound when i turned the key.

so I took the Territory.

When i got home a few minutes ago... i opened the boot, jiggled the battery cables....

she started up fine.

I guess I didn't hold my tongue in the correct position this morning?


Sometimes they just don't wanna go anywhere.



She was comfortable.

Drilled out the water bypass hose on the wrong water pump I ordered, cast alloy so pretty easy to drill. Also knocked up this on the cnc plasma

Yep, sump guard it is...No go on that switch panel, not for a while yet. Waiting to get the car painted and start putting stuff back in before I order that. Plus that will be laser cut, notice the sloppy holes that the plasma makes

Not on the mini but I got a belated present from the wife of a 12T press which is bound to come in handy.

I like the booth, will you do the car at home?



Tried to remove the lower channel retention screws from the sliding window doors, and naturally they're jammed in.
So tried to drill them out, but they've work hardened and are making my Sutton drill bits look like pieces of wooden dowel. Grrr...

… well yesterday rather than today…
……...… and I'm not sure I can take credit for "doing it", however definitely I have to take responsibility for causing it to happen….
………………….… and that is sadly killing the heart of my race Mini and causing it to bleed rather profusely :oops:

Refitted the newly skimmed rear drums with an excellent outcome, no more pulsating pedal & no more squeak squeaks!
