Hay, it's not about the car, it's not about the venue, it's about the people that come here. Peter Dwyer, Mayor of Hay NSW.

I never said I raced a Mini at Bathurst.
I had a lot of races in Holdens.

to change the spark plugs on the jag

- remove the cruise control
- remove the airconditioning pump
- remove the air filters
- remove the throttle tower capstain
- remove the Fuel Injection Manifold x2
- find the sepcial tool for remving the plugs that are installed at a 45 degree angle
- break three plugs no matter how carefully you do


as compared to the Moke
- remove plugs

I have only ever done one repair on my wifes 98 magna and never again..
changed the battery then had to get a mechanic out to hook up his computer so he could reasure it that it was still a car.....

thank god for the simple things in life...

My poor hands can attest to that, trying to get to some crazy bolts. Plus, you have a jigsaw puzzle effect of.. this goes on, but not before this, and that has to go on, but it won't fit on with this.. then.. damn, just tightened it all up and forgot those!

the trick is to go in through the glovebox saves having to remove all that other stuff

Caterpillar H series motor grader to do a valve set.

- then drain and remove L/H fuel tank so you can turn the engine over.

my 86 navara ute i had was interesting to work on it had plenty of room it was just a paint cause it was so high standing at the front the bonnet was a t your chest height so i would stand one foot on the bullbar the other in the enginebay and work from above was quite funny as it didnt fit up the side where the mini is so i did it in the driveway so the neighbours would always come investiggate to see what the hell i was doing good advantage was even i could fit under it without needing a jack

cheers bob
