    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.

    Must have been an earlier model than the 2.4 diesel or maybe a petrol? 2.4 is very easy Mitsubishi Triton 2022 Oil Change - YouTube and filter is accessible from under the front. I reckon it take another couple of minutes than my D2 V8 only because of the Trito's stone guard that needs removing.

    Cheers

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

    But Alex Issigonis was a genius, remember.

    However, i'd forgive My Cooper S ANYTHING, as it was an absolute hoot to drive. I used to take at least half an hour to go to the shop to get milk. I could walk to that shop in 5 minutes, but the Mini would tempt me..... I'd have that car back in a heartbeat.

    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
