It reminds me of some of the threads on here. Going round and round in circles but not actually getting anywhere

Heh heh ! Seriously though - why won't it go round now - has something been done to it by Mods ? Or - is it just needing wound up again ?

It's still going round on my pc Roy
You're probably the best person to wind it up though if it needs doing

Hmmmm - so - it's only mine that has run down ? As you say Louise -I'm possibly the best winder-upperer around!

You've obviously wound everyone else's up but forgotten to do your own

I'm still being held at the signal. Tried logging off and on again - no different. Hmm - maybe will shut down and re-start computer. very strange.

That train is running to some very odd signalling principles!

maybe the pistons have been put in backwards to save time?

Out of control

I did not think this topic would get out of control but...
The master cylinder is back in with reversed bolts and jam nuts (about half the thickness of a standard nut). I drive about 32,000 miles per year but I think the minor will only go about 3,000miles per year so we will keep an eye on the torsion bars and keep you posted.

With thin nuts I bet you'll be fine. Well done for getting it fixed.
As for the mileage - most people over here end up driving more miles in the Minor if they get a choice, but that's because there other cars are MG's or Triumphs...
I'm not sure what it'd be like driving a Minor in the US, but I expect it would be less stressful than here (town's and cities here are rather like racetracks)
