| Gearbox Reconditioning | 27 Feb 2004 22:19 GMT | 13 |
I've just picked up 2 used 'boxes for my 75, and plan to have one reconditioned before it's put in the car.... don't fancy taking a chance on just sticking one in, as there's a risk it will be as bad as the one I've already got.

| Mk3 Mini Wiring | 27 Feb 2004 16:04 GMT | 3 |
Doesn't look like there's anyone about, and I'll more than likely have the job done by the time there is... But... Just picked up an E plate Mayfair. Electrics seem very poorly, indicators sometimes need a fuse teaking to work, that sort of thing.

| Cars with right-hand gearchange | 24 Feb 2004 18:24 GMT | 6 |
Further to the recent discussion on the Riley Pathfinder and its right-hand gearchange, I happened on an a copy of Graham Robson's book "The Cars of BMC" today, and it turns out that my memory was faulty. Not only did the Pathfinder's successor, the Two-point-Six, retain the
