I'm hoping that the Minor is sufficiently like my old Spridget that
I
can find my way round the basic servicing - and my expert friend up
near Killarney has promised to help with all the other stuff...


90 percent is the same, just make sure that the front trunions are
healthy and keep them correctly serviced (the Spridget, Midget, A40
had front wishbones), the rest is much the same.


That reminds me - need to find a grease gun from 'somewhere'.
Asked at the 'tool store' on the market today - but got blank looks
g

I've got one. No! It's mine! Needed for the joints on the A35 - not my
joints! Seriously, do you have freecycle web over there? you might be
able to get one that way.


I did take a look (we did a lot of freecycling to get rid of 'stuff'
before we left the UK - so I'm familiar with the idea).

There's a Cork City freecycle - but it doesn't seem to 'stretch' out
here to the back of beyond g. I've signed up anyway and will see
what geographical range the group covers - you never know....

I'll have to ask around - there's one local car spares shop, but it's
got more pretty lights and big chrome tubes to go round your exhaust
rather than 'useful' car tools....

If all else fails CPC stock a couple - and they will deliver out here
(though the last order from them came, mysteriously, via an airport in
Germany....!)

Thanks
