Can any one identify this cylinder head please, 12G202
I came across it in a shed, with a full set of valves, and double valve
springs, its been ported and polished,
will it fit on a 1000cc engine,

Could anyone advise me where I can get a template for a mini clubman
(1980) dash board  ?
Thanks in advance ..

I just bought a 1990 (yes, 1990) mini BOC, imported from Germany in
1993 (I live in the Netherlands, so not a huge import, but still...).
I have the manual, but it's in German!   Does anyone know where I can
get one in English (or Dutch)?

I have a mini clubman 1980 - I would like to fit hilo's to the front
suspesion. Ho do I go about this.
many thanks

I plan to
 a.. change oil and filter
 b.. drain petrol and replace with fresh with additive, possibly pouring some down the air intake of the carb as it has a mechanical fuel pump
 c.. take sparks out and pour engine oil into the chambers and let it sit there for a day or so ...

I wonder if anyone has come across this before? I've got a Rover mini
cooper T reg, I'm having some weird problems with the radio cassette,
which is the rover standard type with a removable front panel. What has
happened is that the radio will not work, there is no code warning ...

can anyone identify this engine number,
12HE25  113890
I was informed that it's a MG Metro engine ?
or supply a link to a site for identification,

Does anyone know where I can get two innoccenti door trims, they cover the
top section of the door frame,
Cheers
