This isn’t a job I was looking forward to, but one that needed to be done. I had to replace the split outer CV boot.

One tool I forgot to mention in my last post about tuning, was the Gunson Colortune.
Now that everything seemed to be running OK, we had oil only where oil should be, and coolant was mostly where it should be, it was time to do some old school tuning.
Having repaired the Drivers seat, I needed to carry out some more work to get it back into the car again.
When I got the car, it had this weird heater valve on it that didn’t work, oh and it leaked. That was no good.
This is just a quick little post regarding the timing marks on older Minis
As part of the recommissioning process, I chose to replace the bushes for the engine steadies with uprated poly bushes.
No one likes either a saggy unsupportive seat, or one where you literally sit on wood. The Mini had both, and it was time to fix it.
Parts arrived! Woooo!
Well, I’m not kidding, I’m all over the place with the Mini at the moment.
