While I was at the FoD messing about with the green Range Rover Colin and Geoff were fitting a new water pump to my Mini. Trouble was they found the water loss was not only the water pump but the radiator as well.  A second hand radiator is now fitted and seems to be dry.

While test driving the Mini they had a puncture and the spare is flat! I need 4 new tyres.

I really like the aluminum 2 core one that’s now fitted to mine, gives me much more confidence than the original one. 

Yokohama A539s?

I should have bet on a horse today as my luck was in!

@ianbmw found me a little time to have a go at unlocking the engine on my Mitsubishi Sigma and has succeeded. He took one head off and got it moving without have to tackle the difficult rear head. It was a build up of corrosion from when it was sitting. I have ordered a new gasket for and the plan is Friday to get it going.

A used radiator from Colin for £40.

Yokohamas A539's are not available in 10 inch, I will take what ever I can find without paying the £109 I was quoted today for a classic tyre!

@Mrs6C quick, get Your Model 70 to @Andyrew before @Six-cylinder has away with its tyres!
