Thanks Allen,sorry it took so long to respond but I lost this thread,LOL.
Latest newa on my Mini El front.
decided it was just wasting space in my garage,so took it out for a short run,and had the intention of advertising it at a very reasonable price in Classic car weekly.It ran fine but when I inspected the batteries,I found the post of one was very badly corroded.
So I dissconected all battery leads and cleaned them,and the battery posts,topped up all the cells and put it all back together again.
Bad mistake,it now will not run at all.Sob,so cant sel,will just sit there.I have realy had enough of it now.
