Re: Spongy pedal

Matt, A good trick Colin at Brookers brakes told me when I was having problems, Clamp each of the four brake hoses to close off and hit the pedal. Soft pedal = master cyl
Hard pedal = good master problem else where.

Next release one at a time. one rear first, test pedal, this will point you to the problem wheel / area.

Also look for Matt Reads post, really good should be a "how to" ah Jim

My greatest fear in life is that when I die my wife will sell my Mini and tools for the price I told her I paid for them!

Worked on Slidey
.
Found a coolant leak inside the cabin, heater hose was void of hose clamp. Fixed that.

tried to start the new 1360. It turned over (got oil pressure too) but wouldn't fire!!!!

I think that I'll have to pay someone to get it going.



trying to get it going for the Muster

T.K

Post your check list for startup and ask for help.

Soooo many people here can help at no cost.

I finished assembling NAV's engine and put it back in. Forgot to get some oil so can't start it yet. At least it stopped me from rushing to start it.
