I have an MG 1275 engine (standard) fitted in my mini.
If I rev the engine out of gear, there are no problems and the engine runs
fine.
But when in gear and the engine needs to do some work, it bogs down and

Does anybody remember the Mini Song.  I'd like help with the lyrics
and find an MP3 of it.  Did it have an official title?
Here's what I can remember...

Ive got an F reg Mini Mayfair. 998cc
I got the car from my brother who says hes had the same problem with it.
When driving up a hill or in 3rd & 4th gear the car looses power. like when
the points are not in correct contact.

Hi,
I have a cylinder head and wanted to install larger valves. I was
hoping that someone could give me some info on the general procedure,
most importantly, can I do it myself at home or do I need an

I've recently removed the engine from my 1982 metro (or more precisely,
removed the metro from around my engine).

that:

I have been inquiring about the price of getting a mini re-sprayed, and I
