Well, after much more research it looks like we will need a small mortgage in savings to keep the mini on the road. Just watched the shananigans of a mini clutch change on YouTube! Not waiting for that one. So decision is made, keeping our lovely conny. Had a 75 1.8 club se 10 years ago and took that to 100,000 miles without any head gasket issues. Probably helped that I'm a fastidious checker of coolant and oil. Hope that after all this covid business we are all OK and can meet up next year.
Regards
Republic Clone.
