I got this as a second car, so I wouldn't have to take my 70's Mini Clubman out on the salty roads. Originally intended to be a quick project, it's been one thing after another. It's been a learning experience, but I won't do it again in a hurry!

It had been sitting for close to two years. The jobs I've done:
- Motor mounts
- Steering rack and tie rod ends
- Water pump (leaking again, I think I refitted the heater pipe seal incorrectly)
- alternator wiring
- Unstuck the clutch
- Cleaned throttle body
- Did an extended mileage service (fuel/air/oil filters, ignition components etc).
- Replaced a ball joint
- New in-tank pump and sock, flushed tank
- Fixed numerous lighting issues
- Replaced catalytic converter
- new driveshaft carrier bearing
- fixed the seized washer pump

Other than the still-leaking pump, I need to replace the overdrive relay, and sort out the feeble windscreen wipers. And the noisy speedo cable. And the bulb failure circuit which is on all the time on dipped beam.

Anyway, thanks for all your help, you've been very useful!
