brought a 5/8" UNF grub screw and swapped out the sender in the thermostat housing for the standard one in the block and put the grub screw in the housing

Brought home a sad hydro Clubman - Cadiz red now faded to murky red brown. Doors are in the boot of the Camry, rust is in the boot of the Clubman. Needs engine, paint, carpet, suspension and brakes.

Pictured here with the other cars on the street. Now tucked safely into its berth in the backyard. Land Rover sleeping rough on the street still.

Like the brick under the back wheel - just needs a piece of rope tied to it so you can operate it from the drivers seat :lol:

Got my rover hooked up to the mems reading machine to find out what else is wrong with the super reliable spi system :roll:
nothing wrong with my sensors, just the "bitsa" wiring that is the rover way. At least im now 1 step closer to sorting it out. Big thankyou to Josh from miniimports for his help :)

Replaced the 2 rear brake hoses on my `70 Matic, God knows how old they were but there was at least 20+ years of greasy mud surrounding them. :lol:
I knew it was a fun job so I did it up on Mini King's hoist. Thanks John. :wink:

I've got some days at home, so I took the opportunity to give the red mini a wash, and take it for a fang.

The 997 gets a look in tomorrow!
