Re: Brakes

Excellent, the most labour intensive scenario. There are fuses and one blew previously but the one in at the moment seems to be going alright.

To make matters worse, I can't brake and indicate at the same time and if I use my full beam and brake, the nex...

Painting

Hello, I have recently just bought my second Minor and as the previous owner (in his infinite wisdom) decided to crudely hand paint it, my step dad and I are going to give it a re-spray. I am using it as my main car at the moment and would like to carry on doing so and so was wondering whether it wo...
