Thanks for letting us follow you along . You are one the last of group of mini builds I followed from time you started . Most just disappeared . keep up good work . I don't need a big production or exciting dramatics to enjoy vlogs . Got my mini fix for month
Class videos as always buddy, just like to say thank you for all your uploads, helped me so much, i have owend a 1994 1.3i cooper also in racing green for 2 months now and have done a lot of the work through your video's. Top man 👍
When was your faulty hose purchased? I replaced my hose last April along with my water pump and I have been plagued with a persistent leak. It has been leaking from the end that joins the water pump. I have tried new clips as well to no avail. Maybe I need to get a new hose. I purchased it from Minispares.
It was June last year, I got it from minimine but they I havd had stuff from them before with minispares stickers on so they do soutce some parts from them, it was them that told me there had been faulty hoses, I was refunded for it, they are good like that
Hey another great video, especially as i have recently got myself an SPI and need to do so many odd jobs like yourself. One question i have at the end of your video. You mentioned filling up with coolant and then waiting to see thermostat open and coolant drop. Do you fill up the radiator again to top it up as i can't get my head round that and how much coolant the Spi needs. Currently my heater goes cold when sitting idle and only hot while driving. Can you explain how much coolant you added and process for this ? thanks again and have used your videos to help in many occasions :)
Thanks, its alwaysnice to know Im helping others.. I filled up the rad to the fill line, rtun it up to temp and when it gets to 88° the thermostat oppens and then i know the coolant is circulating the full system,, heater valve also open. I top it up so its filled tk the topp of the fins inside the rad. It takes around 4Lfor thd full system but just depends on how much you have drained out. I leave the radcap off so ang teapped air can escape and thats it
@@DBMiniDIY thanks 😊.. I’ve seen ur video on replacing the coolant and think that’s going to be my next job as well as removing the heater for a bit of a clean out.. thanks again and will wait to see what I tackle next 😊
@@DBMiniDIY Well managed to complete the coolant change and also pulled out the heater for a good clean.. boy did it need it lol. Thanks again for your videos 😊. All back together and now the indicators don’t work 😮.. any experience with that ?
@@jamieallanfootage394 possibly knocked something when in there, check the relays ad alltheconectios for corrosion and check tbe fuses it will be something simple
Your videos are great. Very informative and easy to follow. Keep up the great videos
