This all came up a couple of weeks ago, when someone asked me what an MOT was, and there was discussion for days on whether or not it was a good idea to have a compulsory safety check! The MOT (Mini

If you are looking for someone who knows how to tune SUs, the guy in the garage round the corner from me did a great job sorting mine out for my MOT a couple of weeks ago - CO limit for the test is

The hardtop on my '78 1500 has a (yellowed, stained, and slightly torn) white cloth headliner. I have no reason to believe that the hardtop is not original (then again, no reason to believe that it

Yes, I've heard before that it helps to have both sides well and truly flat. The downpipe is a stainless steel one, fitted brand new only a couple of months ago, and looks pretty good and flat (altho

That's exactly what I mean. These tend to be cheap enough that it is worth buying a second gun just to do this job - better than trying to empty grease out of a half-filled gun, filling with oil, do
