Thanks Ian.  I will go ahead and pick up a copy with the Australian supplement in it then.  I have the rest of the manual on disk and didn't realize there would be so many little things that are different with an Australian Mini when I bought it 9 years ago.  Now that I am actually looking into rebuilding it instead of driving it around leaking all over the place, I will need the supplement if I want to keep it Australian.

I now live in Byron, GA, close to Warner Robins.  Are you a part of the Middle Georgia Minis?

Thanks,

Hi Brett, I think you'll find the original version of the "Orange Book" (see the MM catalogue -which you are referring to as the "Mini manual"??) was a Leyland Australia published workshop manual which was refered to as the "Black Book" (for obvious reasons.  As such it covered the Oz models with a UK supplement which identified adn expanded on areas where the UK cars were different.

Consequently, I think it unlikely you will find a separate Oz supplement..

I have a copy of the BMC "body catalogue" but have not seen copies of the accompanying Mechanical catalogue or Workshop manual for some time.  I gave away my copy of the factory workshop manual because I didn't think I'd need it anymore after getting rid of my fist Mini - around 40 years ago :((

Cheers, Ian

Looks like it might be something in your signature.
If you go into "forum settings" you can check and delete anything that's there

While we are at it, does anyone know what this "// 0 ) { // show alert() message _CF_onErrorAlert(_CF_error_messages); // set focus to first form error, if the field supports js focus(). if( _CF_this[_CF_FirstErrorField].type == "text" ) { _CF_this[_CF_FirstErrorField].focus(); } } return false; }else { // run userdefined onSubmit javascript. return checkForm(); return true; } } // ]]>" is on my post and how I can fix it?


I also can't seem to change my information for my posts.  I have moved to Georgia but my profile still says Idaho.  Could you please tell me how I can fix it?

Thanks!
