funny noise gone.

Mini was making a weird clattering noise when at lights with clutch out. when I pushed her in it went away. I Was real worried that it was my idler gears all screwed but spoke to my mechanic and he just said to do an oil change and it will be fine.

did it today and it seems to be gone. AHHH...relief. for no anyway.

My next problem is my weber carbie needs tuning. May get it done tommorrow.

yeah i did and thank god none of those came out.

didnt even have that many metal filey bits on the magnetic plug.
I know that an oil change is quite simple but it is the first thing I have done to the mini and I am a bit excited.

Tommorrow I am going for a long drive to pick up some bits From a friend.

Carbon fibre wheel arches...mmmm
I am going to get the carb looked at as it is very choppy at the moment
