Ive done it a few times. It’s awesome.

Get it back and take it where you usually go? Have you seen any pics of the work yet?

I’ve done the hosepipe thing before (a standard hose pipe fits inside mini heater hose perfect). I guess I’ll just give it another good flush.

@Tom Booth any experience with rad flush style things in your mini / old cast iron engines? The coolant in the mini has always been pretty ming even after flushing it through multiple times. If the cars been sat a week or so its clear as a bell so it must just be sediment in the water.

But will it make it home? Tune in next time for another exciting episode of fairlane roulette.

@Tom Booth

You must have been blocked because i can't see your post.

Pretty emotional. Just proves what you can do with a few good mates.

What happened to keeping it standard? lol.

My mini had to go for a VIC (vehicle identity check) check after its accident. Bearing in my mind the engine has been rebuilt so has no engine number plate and the frontend replaced so no vin on the scuttle. He spent all of 2 mins looking at the riveted on plate on the inner wing and gave it a tick. They've scrapped that now too though.

Sure my 90's engine was fitting before 88 officer.

"If a vehicle has a power to weight ratio of more than 15% in excess of its original design, unless such a modification took place before 1988." Well there go's my clubman not needed an MOT out the window. That document suggests it will just need an MOT though not an IVA.

I like how the stanchions pretty much survive

I didnt realise they actually had a 'folding' hard top. No wonder the back end is soooooo huge I'm not disrespecting but they really are massive.

Have you see the one thisoldtony made on youtube? Some good information in his videos, from the build to the software to upgrades https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5NO8MgTQKHAWXp6z8Xl7yQ

Id be pretty upset if my MOT place charged me to adjust them. Unless the adjusters are seized and screwed.

Looks better. Are those seat covers original? Worth repairing rather than replacing? The carpet looks a bit ming but keep the rest as is if you can.

Could have hoovered it

Just stick this in the back. Sorted.

Are they literally just switches for some solenoids? I.e. air in/out each bag? I guess the digital controllers set the pressure in each bag to the same?

Just don't leave the chinese ones unattended while charging. The chargers/batteries are known to be a bit on the dodgy side. Example: http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/psa-warning-lights-bought-off-ebay-batteries-exploding

Surely the recovery company should pay for any damage they caused not your insurance?
