Took car for a run yesterday and noticed the Battery Gauge was reading too high , (above 15.0 V ) so sorted that this morning with another Ext regulator , back to 14.3 V , then put it up on stands , gave it an oil change .

Will give it a grease on Monday , a quick check of the tune and it should be good for the Rylstone Run .

Put the finishing touches onto the Cooper S after someone turned right, directly in front of me at an intersection.

Bugger , at least it was repairable .

Got the dark blue 850's engine back from Matt Read a few weeks ago. Got it in and running, yay!

Today I hope I have fixed the water leaks. I can't wait to drive it.

Got the rego inspection done.
I did 126 miles since the inspection last year
It's so much fun to drive, I just don't know why I don't do it more often

Compared to my TomTom the reading moves around more, perhaps it uses less satellites.
But it's worth it, particularly in suburbia.

Thanks Doc and 9yatah.

We use a "HillSpeed" HUDo9 Digital speedometer. We use this on our longer trips and it works very well.
We did get it of Ebay, as it was cheaper than buying from (Bogaard Distributors)

I dont like oil leaks

Changed the oil and filter, modded the bonnet hook to clear the oil cooler, modded the bonnet latch to clear the airfilters and made an adjustable oil pressure relief now runs 65 psi cold and 55 psi hot idle. Found I have oil being blown out the dipstick but not sure what to do with that just yet, hopefully after a few hundred k's it settles down as it's only a fresh engine.
