I don't know your circumstances Pb, but it's not too bad a job, why not have a go, half the beauty of owning a moggy is you don't need to pay a garage!

You can release the bonnet with a hammer handle or similar passed through the front grill near the top, locate the sliding mechanism (centre of car) find the protruding lug (just off centre towards drivers side)and push it to your left. It may need a sharp tap.

With regards to the comment on flushing oil, this can dislodge stuff and just move it through oilways etc, not all the debris reaches the drain plug!

Has any member any experience of superchargers as fitted to a minor. I understand they can make the engine more effecient and a better bet for touring.It also appears to have been a popular mod, once upon a time.

I rather like bottle jacks, they can be positioned accurately and they can have the top platform adapted to suit your favoured jacking point, simply by making a selection of 'tops' that fit over the original.

Does anyone out there know of a cellulose based paint suitable for brushing.
A product called Brushing Belco was available once but seems to have disappeared now. Thanks.

Thanks for the replies all. I should have put more info in my original post, it is only the inside payload area that I want to paint with a brush, mainly to avoid a fog of fumes in a confined space and want a cellulose based paint so that there is no adverse reaction if the end result is disappointi...
