Scuse the ignorance. What is an anti rattle washer?

Went to Gran's place yesterday, tried to start the Moke, ignition light but click only. Returned with battery charger and tyre pump.

Happily, after 18 months stationary the tyres wer just down to 22 lbs and nothing appears to have become a home to rodents.

Charger ammeter never went up as typical with a flat bat. I think the batt may be stuffed. Went back there later today and after 24 hours on charge it cranked maybe 3 times then gave up. So it's over there with a spare battery to see if she'll go. Need to get her sorted for the Muster.

Slowly getting time to do some tinkering. Today managed to strip and sand the roof and most of one side back to bare metal, had to cut out alot of rust that the previous owner so kindly hid behind a shite load of bog. So the body work is well on it's way.

1967 Deluxe (Bluey)

Gave the mini deluxe a check over as my daughter is going for a road trip tommorrow, 4 hours south of Sydney. Tightened up the top ball joints, greased, checked and adjusted the front brakes, adjusted the fan belt and took for a test drive. All seems OK.

Not too sure in the case of a mini, but Ive heard people use it in reference to a star washer.

had a quick look at the cooper s flares on my S just realised they are missing the metal trim that goes around them anyone got the trim that runs down the side of the car and around the flares. or know where to get them. Car should be on the road in about 1-2 months.

Pulled apart and reconditioned my Clubman heater tap, 3 "O" rings, alot of fiddling and a good clean, works soooo well. Nice warm Mini now and i can demist my front screen with warm air not a rag....what luxury

New spark plugs, retightened the head, readjusted the ToyoMini rockers.

it's not metal, it's plastic, and any mini shop can supply it - PITA to fit though. I'm sure your Dad has plenty of experience fitting it

Actually yesterday (Friday 3rd) left home at 5:45am went to Airport and flew to Sydney, paid for & picked up this

Headed home at midday, broke down after 5 klms, sorted it out (wiring fault), arrived home in Melbourne 10:15pm. Suspension pretty much sitting on bump stops, drivers seat not good - bit of a rough trip but good fun!
The Cooper S I bought last week

is on it's way, Tracking says it should be in Brisbane Monday Morning, hopefully in Melbourne later in week

Ian you are now Mini Rich. Have to be please to get to Classics

Mini experience for the Day. Put the Exhaust & Inlet gasket and Manifolds on & bolted up GT lets just say Perfect all round Thanks

Hooks up the Battery and the Fuel Pump clicked away "okay that wire is in the wrong spot & moved it" Turned the Key & nothing..Hmmm...no fuses fitted some...brown side works but white doesn't. Spent the next 1/2 hour trying to work out whats wrong but I think its the IGN switch & its new
