'leaf spring kit' ?? What have you changed? What springs did you use? Are they fitted right way round - leaf clamps on the front half of the spring unless it comes with clamps both front and rear. Poly bushes used ? Lubricated on assembly? Did you leave the suspension 'loose' until the car was back...

Make sure you have release oil (NOT WD 40) on hand - and a good hot gas blow torch to heat difficult to undo nuts.. You may also want t...

they never do cater for very tall fat people We do cater for tall / fat people (I'm around 20 stone at the moment..) plenty of tall people have Minors (it's not the Mini club) but probably not a standard pick up as at 6 foot tall they are just at my limit. If you have long legs you'd want to make a...
