mini ownership leads to self harm

Leaky is out of action, has been for a while. Now I need to get her back on the road so that we can tidy the garage and get the house on the market...

Spent some time this evening fitting a new bottom radiator hose after making up a custom hose to accommodate Leaky's new pre-heater - it plugs in to the wall and heats up the engine prior to start up. In theory it's a really nice addition for a city car that does fairly short trips - this way the engine will be running at close to full efficiency right out of the garage rather than 3 or 4 km down the road.

Not much room in the engine bay in an old mini, hence the self harm.
