Most liked posts in thread: What did you do with your MINI today?

I wouldn't mind bolt on stuff as I'm pulling the motor and trans to catch up all the maintenance that's never been done, along with the clutch. Rt axle, timing chain kit, oil filter housing gasket, fr and rear main seals, water pump and stat, coolant bottle, silicone coolant hoses, sump gasket, whatever it takes to get it dry of oil leaks. Does a clutch kit come with a pilot bearing? Just noticed the oil light likes to come on at idle . Could be a game changer. Not going into the motor, have an xke and TR6 to get underway, an XJ6c ls swap and a 635csi to finish before I run out of time. Any usual suspects for low idle oil pressure? Oil pump would be doable while I have the front cover off, no ugly noises...

 

Easy checks for oil pressure would be oil level, oil filter, oil sensor, oil sensor wiring and then using a gauge.

 

Hi all. I'm back for now. My problem was I lost my wife on the 18th of December. We were married 49 years. It's hard to get use to being alone.

 

Very sorry to hear.
Glad you are back!

 

So sorry for your loss Checkers, my heart is with you.
Bill

 

Thanks guys. The hard part is being alone. We both had no one else.

 

Winner winner chicken dinner. Great find.

 

Which model did you get ??

 

It should be 71 here. That's the good here's the bad. They are trying to pass a law that will limit the miles a classic car can be driven a year because of smog. How bad is that.

 

That badge fell off of Skooby. Been a year and I haven't got around to fixing it. Not sure Lady Babs has noticed yet.

 

Quite the layout.

 

Brings back some old memories.

 

That should make for a really nice setup.

 

Please post up your experience / review with the metal cross over pipe...
I've been eyeing that piece for a while...

 

I washed Skooby the clubster yesterday. It was a real salt ball and truly need it. So today it rains.

No worries I hid the keys so Lady Babs can't go out and find a dirt road to drive on.
