Top Tip - You should run it on diesel if you are laying it up for that long. It helps keep everything lubricated inside the engine and fuel system. Learned this off my mate The DJSE 😂
What you doing here? Lol. Maybe he could get a AA/Rac fuel drain van out to it after 😆 And maybe get a fire going under the engine to get it to warm up before start up pmsl
@@paulrobinson3528 Use a disposable BBQ, it's no coincidence that they are the exact same size as a Mini sump! As for the fuel drain, just park over a storm drain and pull of the rubber pipe from the metal front to rear... Job done!
@@classicminiworkshop 😆 they are the same size, just so happen to have one in the shed to 🤣. You can't do the fuel drain like that Keith, come on, be sensible in this day and age 😉
If you look back at my earlier videos mate it's on them. I only use this garage now to store a car in. That's what I love about the mk3 is it just looks like a standard mini 😂
@@classicminidetails8887 This is going to seem dumb to people but my current car is the only one I've had that's guaranteed first turn to get it going lol

@@paulrobinson3528 Opps, yes. Make sure you are wearing goggles when dumping the fuel down the drain. Safety first!
At 0:50 I could literally SMELL the early 1970s!
Oh it stunk alright after being sat that long

Hello Alex. I don't think we've seen this garage before . If we didn't know better you'd think that was an 850 in there ! 😂😂 Thanks Alex .

All that turning over of an A Series reminded reminded me of Winter starts in my Allegro in the 80's......difference being you knew it would start 😂
😂 She'd been sat 5 months so I knew it would be a while. Normally first turn of the key on this 👌

I enjoy watching the startup procedures of old cars. Do I need professional help?
I think we all need help 🤣

Anything that had been in hibernation will take a good while to wake up. You know she will though.🤲👍
Certainly mate!
That isn't running right mate
Been sat 5 months, runs sweet now after a blast
@@classicminidetails8887 cool, yeah, they don't like being sat about 👍
I think when I went to rev it when it was still on Choke didn't help 😂
