A Mk 1 Cooper S was essentially an engine out job and as well as replacing the fan belt you were well advised to fit a split fan shroud from a Mk 2 Cooper S.Quote:

My first car was a Mini. Yes, fan belts are garbage to change but you should try changing the bypass hose. :eek2::censored:Quote:

Yep, I'd have another Mini for sure.[thumbsupbig]
Had a mini van and remember changing that bypass hose it was an experience
Fun to drive if being picky just needed the peddles to be a couple of inches further forward for a near perfect driving position
Bought a TV stand as you did back in the day. Negotiated a deal by taking the slightly shop soiled one off the showroom floor. Yes was living the single life so price and functionality were more important than it being new. After asking as my car going to be big enough to carry it home assured would be fine as I had a van.
Once in car park could see them looking around for the van I was driving. Had to direct them to the mini. Front wheel drive without a rear axle provided a tardis like carrying capacity so it went in without a problem. They were going back into the showroom so others could see that they had loaded it into a mini as otherwise no one would believe them
Was a great car that I sold to buy a Holden one tonner. Had purchased it as one owner from new from a deceased estate. Sold it to a cousin who drove it for a few years then I last saw it in the staff car park at the Eventide nursing home at Sandgate
Try changing a cluch out on those east west pommy engines[bigwhistle]Quote:
