Bled the brakes and adjusted the rear brake shoes then fixed the alternator belt tensioner and did a general spanner check on my Grandson's 1997 Cooper MPI.
Then found out the new alternator bels as supplied by the local motor factors was too short - correct one will arrive tomorrow.

I replaced a wheel stud which I snapped yesterday then decided to investigate the annoying squeaking noise from the o/s/f, seems it was the backplate rubbing off the drum :huh: I fitted the alloys I was going to get shot blasted (will shot blast them later now lol) Filled him up with fuel then took him a wee drive. Now its time to order some stuff from minispares!
