Not me. I haven't worked as a BMC mechanic. Only triumph and rover.

Expert? You bet your sweet bippy I am!

I can't afford for someone else to fix it and none of my colleagues know anything about mini's so...

sorry if you can`t speak french

No offence intended here but--> anyone writing a book about minis 30 years ago may not have experienced such worn or stuffed-with components as we are finding these days.

You should put your heart & soul into everything you do.

That's a lot of ebay trawling. Not much mechanichry stuff though...

Is that what this thread was about? I wondered what was going on.

No one knows what this thread is about.

I think if you translate it into french, it will all make sense.

Definitely not a mini expert but nothing a hammer wont fix.

Give me a truck on the other hand and I can fix all your dramas

I quite like those dashs, the billy dulles one in particular. I read a while ago someone was going to remake them but billy himself was still around and put the kybosh on it as quite rightly he wanted a percentage.

Was on the internet so must be true...
