Dont forget to check the float chamber needle valve, a bit of dirt in it can cause problems.

I assume you mean the gear stick lever, if so I believe there are differences as a friend swapped a gearbox both 1098 ones over and found that the gear lever touched the front seat in one of the gears, but when the one from the original one was re-fitted all was ok so there must be a difference.

That's going to cost you a bit Rob.

Yes an mot is required but most numberplate traders seem to be able to get one anyway irrespective of condition I suspect they simply put the plates on another car for the test :( Some testing stations are more fussy than others re checking chassis numbers etc. The car dosent come with the numberpl...

Hohoho...... I rather suspect ACD will charge a bit more than £50.... But he comes HIGHLY recommended by the Mini lads - and he REALLY knows what he is doing with an A series. I've never been there - but if I was going to have my A series rolling roaded - it's the ONLY place I would consider. You s...

I always thought that to transfer a number plate the car had to have a valid MOT which this one doesn't.

You should get plenty of interest with an offer like that

Hopefully as long as everything is back together and Saturday night does not finish tooooo late.

Rusty screws always look familiar to me, what diameter is it.
