    Washed the Helmet! It look great. It may be up for sale if I can find it a proper home.

    I guess you're getting that new GP, huh? Dave.O will impeach you! :Devilish:

    Redbeard, on the other hand, will be pleased. :Cigar:

    Bleed the brakes/ABS module, even though I fixed where the water was getting in I drilled a hole in the battery box and reinstalled the battery, changed the oil, rotated the tires, and de-cated the exhaust. When I took off the rear wheels the left shock felt loos, it wasn't the rubber on the shock mount is gone. So I took the left shock off and decided to do both sides. The bolt on the bottom of the right shock will not come off. I tried a pull bar and my impact, it is not coming loose. I spared penetrating oil on it, I will try tomorrow.
    NAPA said they had the shock mount, got there it is not the right part. Walked out to get in the Helmet and it had a large puddle of coolant under it.
    Its been a long day. What I need is another broken MINI

    I never have. It has 56 or 57k. Why should I? Also I had to get an adapter they changed something on the new thermostat, it a wire two leads into one.

    Mini disgraced herself and peed all over the garage floor!
    She clearly takes all her vitamins, it was bright green!!!!
    Right hand side (I believe that is the water pump side....)
    Trip to the doctor tomorrow to see what needs replacing....

    Thanks for the heads up Dave.o
    I’m going to have a good look over the weekend and make sure it is in fact coolant and she hasn’t ruptured a spleen.

    Only rear end noises now come from the driver. It's OK old friend, blame the dog. :Cigar:

    Glad you got it sorted out. :Thumbsup:
