    Starting trouble

    My 1980 Mini has been off the road for about 18 months while I have been rebuilding the brakes and suspension and refurbishing and re-trimming the interior.

I am not that good with engines and electrics; I prefer to leave that to others and concentrate on the areas that I can fix with confidence myself.
