Help needed please.
The steering on my wheelbarrow is a little heavy.
The (front) wheel seems to go round OK.
Tyre pressure checked. 25 psi. OK according to the handbook.

I've replaced the offside front wheel bearing twice so far in the past 1
1/2 years in my 1987 mini.
Firstly when I first got the car as it had some noticable play in there.
Then MOT time had come and the bearing had gone again !

The shell is now sat in primer and I am digging through the boxes of bits
wondering what to bead blast and paint, what to buy new and what is good
enough already.
Must get back to my sorting

Just wondered if there was a simple solution to this or I'm better off
going to my local mini garage.

being the lucky owner of a new Mini Cooper S, I am somewhat intrigued about
the "real" capacity of the fuel tank. The owner's manual speaks of ca. 50
litres, but when I filled it up last time, I had already 49 litres, while
the fuel gauge stood at about 1/8 (in fact the warning ...

I have just replaced the rear brake cylinders & shoes, front pads and
caliper pistons on a 78 mini moke with a tandem master cylinder.  The
problem I now have is actually bleeding the brakes.  After a couple of
hours with a friend pumping the pedal we cannot get any fluid to come

Anyone have any hints on fitting rear quarter panels ?
I'll be getting the panels that come upto the back side windows.
Obviously it'll welded along the seams and spot welded up the front edge
(just inside the door) but what about the top of the panels ? ie between
