    Hiya all

    Been around NMS for years but more to do with the General Mini Scene.

    I have a 1977 Mini Clubman so been doing things with NMS for years in conjunction with ELMOC.

    But this weekend I finally managed to get my first MINI.

    A MINI Clubman Cooper S at that. So a clubby to go with my Clubby

    has a couple of issues that I'm looking to rectify.

    Main one is the lumpy at idle and dipstick blowing out issue. (i knew this before buying the car).
    I'm starting with replacing the valve cover and go from there. If its not that then may have to go to someone who knows better.

    Once I am happy the lumpiness is fixed and its nothing more serious i can move on to doing an engine service
    Next up is putting in an oil catch can, removing the Noise maker and doing a tidy on some bits.
    Im also lookign to replace the C pillars with Black ones and get the Light surrounds and bumper changed to match the car.
    Then refurb the wheels (which wont be cheap)
    After that i have many many ideas but very little money.
