I have mentioned Nick’s Vitesse before, when I fixed an issue he had with his ECU. Show day is coming, and it’s a rush to get his car ready. Today we checked off another WOF issue; the hand brake.

When working on the Mini yesterday one thing I noticed was that the coolant overflow bottle was full, despite the cooling system being empty. Clearly something wasn’t right there.
I can’t help myself, I’m up to 51 already.
It isn’t a fun job, but it’s one I needed to do. To get Tess on the road I needed to replace the steering rack.
I had some time off from work today, so I finally got around to servicing my auto transmission.
Upon returning home after the WOF check, I felt it was time to sort the bucket of porridge shifting.
The Vitesse had its longest drive in a long time today, to see if it would pass a WOF.
Another familiar job; A pair of upgraded rubber gaskets to replace the leaking cork ones.
It rained heavily the other day, for the first time since getting the Vitesse…. and it leaked. Damn.
In the quest to get the Vitesse ready for its Warrant inspection next week, I had to remedy something else I noticed wasn’t working well.
