It originally had a bit of leather over it to stop the pedal arm from going 'clink' when you take your foot off the pedal

Was it leather or proper non Chinese rubber


Looks like leather.

This thread is perfect for a nidiot like me!

Does anyone know if the mk1 indicator stalk bulb can be picked up at jaycar or similar or is a special type of bulb?

Also my bonnet shuts this far. Well it shuts further then springs back to here.
I’ve tried screwing in the striker pin but it’s not budging!
Any thoughts for the day?
(Trying to get some simple wins to make me feel better, the tilting mini problem is making me sad)

the bonnet is a long way forward as well... there are some 7/16 nuts at the back of the bonnet hinges, just loosen them a little bit (so they still 'grip' the bonnet, but you can slide the bonnet back and forth if you push) and push the bonnet back a bit

doing that might make it sit better

Is the interior light door switch on a 77 clubby connected via a bullet terminal or are the wires just soldered in?

Thanks muchly.

should be a bullet - wiring looms aren't made to be installed permanently with soldering

Thanks for identifying the part. But where does it attach to?.

Silly question time :) Are there any low-back seats that will bolt directly (no mods needed) into a Clubman? Not a big fan of the high-back jobbies.

Cheers
Simon

It uses the right hand bolt that attaches the pedal box. In this photo the rubbing strip has shrunk and moved aside a little. When I touched it the black bit came off in my hand so I guess I'm going to need one of the MKO NOS parts posted earlier. The bit that came off appears to be rubber to me.

Seats fit the same in everything but the very last 1978 cars, but low back seats aren't legal to fit in something that came with high back seats.

Yes, if your adr plate has 22 or 22A stamped on it (1972 onwards) you must fit seats with head restraints.

Early seats had detachable restraints and were a bit less bulky than the later tombstone style. Some photos of them are in the interior trim section here:

Changed the oil filter on my 1098 today which is a work in progress, been running on and off for a few years. The oil was very thin in the filter and seemed to smell of fuel.... Can the oil be diluted at all from the fuel pump or something like that?? Thanks

Yes, if you have a mechanical fuel pump the diaphragm can split and leak petrol into the sump

Also if you filled the cylinders up with fuel it would make its way into the oil as well
