The rust round your windcreen, typical of a 90's shell obviously is not bad enough to let in water YET.  |

Oh if an injection does not start - turn the immobiliser off by pressing the button on the fey fob ;D ;D I miss my car so much  All injections have a built in immobiliser from the factory thats why they DONT GO ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Sham they didnt immobilise the RUST and supply everone with a mobile garage.Oh sorry they had to make the panels thiner to compensate for all the extra weight in electronics crap that slow the car down didnt they ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D |

Points- £2
Second Hand Dellorto- £30
Beating all the spi's and mpi's- Effortless ;D ;D
and dont forget all the injected cars were happily beaten by two forty year old cars that rely on luck for a correct spark and rough estimation for a correct mixture ;D ;D ;D
As my dad used to say, keep it simple, stupid...

Oh pick on the electronics time is it!?
Jim's your half dead 1275 was not standard from the factory at 69Bhp, I think a GT turned out 56bhp standard from the factory..... I'm very happy with my 70 standard bionic pony's.
Carb, points, clutch.... whats next? Dave, still want to part with your 998?

Changed the starter solinoide today...... ;D ....... After having to go back to the parts guys cos he gave me the wrong one!  ........ Made no difference in the end, car still has fits & conks out.  So afraid it will stall (as it frequently does whilst driving) cos then most of my electrics die!  Today was suposed to be a day off work & enjoy a non-rushed xmas shop......wasnt that day today...wasnt my day at all! Expect for meeting up with Rachel for Lunch! ;D Made me more determined to get it fixed!  Managed to get home...except for car completely dying halfway onto the drive! Had to push it in! (lots of swearing!  ) I think it's because Simon is away, the Duckling's missing him! ....So am I! |

You can keep your spi mpi gti boss eyed.fuel injection isnt worth a toss on a mini they tried them with in the sixties with lucas and afew others but they always come back to carbs.The only injection i want is nitros,,,,plumbed through a bloody great big carb though. Well done old git why does everyone want the old mk1 and mk2 because there the best no thrills just the dogs bo***ks. Yes paul i want your car how much?  ? OH dear am i sitting on the fence again! k1 BAH HUMBUG |
