What a beautiful noise!

There are a few bits here and there that need to be tightened etc but after weeks off the road sourcing and waiting for spares she has a new lease of life.

Errr not quite - first run today she smoked all the way from the summerhouse roundabout to just past jct21 - had to pull in and bring her back.

Tried her again this evening and only smoked from summerhouse to sainsburys - dual carraigeway was clear so went down that a couple of times - oil pressure and temp still staying the same. Hoping it's nothing major and relates to the oil spill from the missing hose yesterday. (shan't say anymore as the chief mechanic is still invalided out and not on top form!)

Getting the garage to check when they bleed the clutch and brakes for me biggrin

thanks to you and Graham for helping put the bonnet on!

Fingers crossed the 'smokeyness' is an easy fix

Smokey A-series?


"They all do that Sir, some worse than others."

(I've got two minis, and previously had a Mk1 'Frogeye' Sprite - love them to bits!)
