Today I put cut up some latex gloves and put them over the dizzy to keep the water out. Although it does look like I have some sort of novelty condom sticking out of the front of my engine..

And I finally discovered where coolant is leaking from! The water pump gasket was suspect, so took that off and refitted it.

And (I know, three things in one day!) opened all the windows and put in a dehumidifier in an attempt to stop it being so damp in there.

I fitted a radio


I got one for free today, so will fit that soon to my main mini. :dontgetit:

I removed two brake drums, fitted rear light clusters, sorted headlamp problem, fitted dizzy 'pigtail' and got my little project fired up again.
Have just spent £130 at minispares getting bits. Lots and lots of low value bits soon adds up!
