PCV been serviced? "Rubber hose" going to PCV/Inlet not collapsing? Maybe need a catch tank if you are doing those sort of REVs...

new pcv from auto part shop, so it's not old yet. I'm thinking catch an maybe. Had a new experience on the way home from work, got stuck in 4th, rolled to a halt to see whats up .....the rear roll pin fell out of the gearshift ... new one fitted and wire tied so it shouldn't happen again. One of the joys of owning a daily driven mini

At least you have to sort out the issues straight away, some of us would leave in the garage for a few weeks first!

Fitted some genuine ripspeed hi lows no more rubbing on the rear. Stiffened the car up to. Handling much better as well. Need to let it settle and will lower a little more.

Started working on my newly aquired Cooper S Mk2.

Got the clutch hydraulics and brakes bled on my 850 restoration after a total rebuild from scratch with new everything, including pipes bent up by hand and flared etc. Has been a long job but feeling very pleased tonight! Now to drop the new donk in, hook it up and get it running before Minifest in four weeks' time. Sh!t...

Haha, and I thought I was in trouble for getting my car ready for Minifest!

All things going to plan I should have mine registered before the end of October!

Was changing oil on my daily driver Outback and went to fit the sump plug crush ring supplied by the Subaru dealer. It was the wrong size! What to do? Jumped in the mini, filled out the logbook, and zapped down and back before the dark storm clouds possibly dumped hail on my stranded Subaru and my precious mini! Mini saves the day!

Took the Cooper S to the Annual BMC/Leyland Heritage Day Reunion Lunch.

I also met a gentleman there who worked at the Zetland Factory and knew my Dad well, ...then worked out he not only worked in the same area in Engineering, but at the next layout table in the drawing office.

....then worked out he is a fellow Cooper S owner and is a regular on this forum!!!

As usual there was a small car display that always has an interesting mix of Leyland/BMC product. This lovely original 850 belongs to a member and there were some fine looking P76 including "one of only 10 built" Leyland P76 V8 Force 7v.
