:D Both my two classics went for the APK (MOT), my Rover Mini 2000 just did need some air in the tyres
and my Mk3 Mini 1974 had to have two new bracking cilinders at the back, that's all ;)

I'm interested in your accelerator pedal. I have one the same that I bought on eBay a few months ago. I've never seen one like it before buying it. And then I noticed yours. Do you know who made them and when? Nice mini by the way,love that colour.

Wow guys,thanks for the info on that. It's a nice looking pedal,I paid £22 for it. Not sure if that's a true value of it but I love it all the same.

Well the fine tuning had to be done on the twin carbs but the was also problem with the distribution chain tensioner.
From one came the other, after dismanteling everything more problems surfaced but at the end all went well.

So put down the phone and get the keys :lol:
