I spent a couple of hours cleaning old gaskets off my cylinder head and making new ones from some good quality  gasket material

I got the starter out last sunday and I'm now trying to fix it, or at least I'm trying to find out what the problem is. I will probably have to buy a new one

Just collected after passing the MOT, then proceeded to breakdown on the way to work...

Well not a 126 but my GAMINE with 126 engine, gearbox and other subtle upgrades. Rolled it out of the garage just over, not been run since last year, a week ago to check over for MOT. She started up easily and all electrics worked without some fetteling, first time ever. Put her back in the garage, just had a hip replacement therefore not able to drive. Angela said she would drive it to the MOT station on Monday so got the wee beastie out on Sunday for a final check, paranoid or what, good job as the near side dip would not work. I was getting about 9-10 volts at the bulb connection but when we switched the lights on the voltage disappeared. So major voltage drop on this supply, too many wires to trace location of corrosion, probable cause. I spliced into the circuit for the off side dip as a temporary fix, we don't generally drive at night. She passed with flying colours with only one advisory, an oil leak from the sump gasket. Only another 2-3 weeks before I am allowed to drive again just in time for the forcast good weather.

 I took the engine out again. After the Uxbridge show it started to make a rattling noise from the fan. Doing over 60mp/h with three adults in the car probably didn`t help. It doesn`t look like much, but that fan was making hell of a noise.
 While the engine is out, I`ll be doing some upgrades. Modified head fitted already and a bis gearbox going in soon to keep the revs down a bit  ;D
