Had her on trickle charge for a couple of days, gone to her this morning and she turned over and fired up. Not sure what was wrong, but think that the HT lead from the coil to the dizzie is a bit didgy, and the mounting for the coil itself is a bit poor.

Anyway, she's running now, so Elvington could be on the cards, watch out Ellie and Crafts

 

Found a loose wire on the starter motor, which could explain the reluctance to turn over.

I feel all good and clever in an amateur mechanic kinda way

 

Yep you are special

 

Can't keep a good man down eh!!

Should be a good laugh - pug wars

Cant wait for Elvington, its so much more exciting when youve got your own car there and not just watching

 

I was hoping to have the Mini ready for Blyton in september looks like its not gonna happen now. The policy thats supposed to be cashed in for me and would've given me £2k has now been stopped because mum found out what I wanted to use it for. P*ssed off is not the word....
