Instead of the usual 30 mile round trip to work, a 600 mile one way Cornwall to Galway....

That's a long way to go home for lunch.

Passed her MOT with a verbal recommendation to look at a bit of play in the radius arm bushes.

Mine passed yesterday too, a few small advises though

Still waiting for the radius arm kits to arrive so ripped out the old alarm and started fitting he new one. Pulled out a load of redundant wires that I cant remember what they were for 

Heater's leaking again

Fitted the new seat diaphragm. needed to be Geoff Capes to stretch it across, but fitted and I now have a drivers seat that's almost comfortable.

Welcome to the world of simple classic car ownership

Collected my mini today from “Unique Motors” after having new front brake pads, brake discs and retaining pins fitted. Also, had the front suspension altered so the ride hight is bang on! Great to have it back!

Finished fitting the alarm and it works   Front carpet is soaking because of the leaking heater so that's out and drying, new radius arm kits arrived this afternoon so that's tomorrows job.

Well I received my original GT wheel so that’s ready to fit

Finished off after re-fitting the radius arm and the car is back on the floor. Took the heater out to fit a new matrix, cheapo one off eBay, and had to adjust the holes in the side casing as the inlet and outlet stubs didn't line up but all is well now. I don't actually think the old one was leaking now as there was a bit too much water in the foot well and only a cupful missing from the cooling system - I think the water is getting in passed the rubber boot where the brake pedal linkage passes through the bulkhead but the servo makes it difficult to get to. I'll leave the carpets out for now and get the wife to simulate a downpour with the hosepipe.

Spent the evening drilling out the old shocker pin from the top arm to fit a new one, it only took me two hours.  The other side came out straight away and took 5 minutes

Spent a nice chunk of money at Calver ST, Keith is an incredibly nice bloke to deal with, would highly recommend.
