Thanks be to Google :wink:

http://books.google.com/books?id=vfhF_C2al6sC&pg=PA15&lpg=PA15&dq=a+series+small+journal+crank+mini&source=web&ots=M6FSGvDVjS&sig=I-FwM_uAiPYS_Nm7QRBuEC0gVJQ#PPA14,M1

Interesting read, appears to recommend 1275 A+ for performance mods rather than tired worn out Cooper S.

Ahh, Google.

Is there anything it can't do? :)

So Simon, you've had your brakes for a couple of weeks and I know you are currently in Melbourne but how is the pedal pressure, did you sort it out or are just just living with it for the time being?

Yes, I'm in Melbourne, but the car is still in Brisbane. It begins the long journey down on Thursday.

My dad's been driving it up there, and the pedal is where I left it -- brakes engage with about half pedal travel, less with a pump or two. Even so, they're nice and strong :D

I'll sort the height out when I get the car down here.
