I hope washer fluid is something different in the UK.  The methanol content of American washer fluid would dissolve that tank in short order.

That engine bay is like a clown car but filled with radiators. Service on that car is going to be hilariously impossible without taking the thing apart.

I was doing wiring last night and started swearing after an hour. I can't imagine what I'd do trying to sort out the mess they have!

Having wired a much less complex car - a Triumph Spitfire, I would agree and disagree.  Yes, it's tedious at times, but it's also nicely satisfying work as you get each section done and tested.  What is important is to not let yourself be rushed and accept you'll have to run everything, test it, and then remove the harness entirely from the car so you can properly trim and wrap it.  That last step is what I was unable to do and because of that many parts of the harness look like utter hell.

Something has happened that I no longer Jones for Binky releases like I used to. I actually want to see more of the transporter build than the Mini.

The thing with wiring is when circuits are poorly documented.  Such as the "ECM" relay.

They beat me to the slave cylinder solution for clearance. I have the same issue on my project.

It is because they are past the main fabrication stages and are in the final build stage. So there is nothing really that interesting going on and they are down to that last 5% that takes most of the time.

In reply to MrChaos :

That process is a little too close to home for Pete right now. wink

Personally I still like the content and the increased pace of new videos, but I kind of wish they would break them up a little more. Thirty minute long youtube videos put me to sleep - literally.

I'd rather have a 30 minute video than a 10 minute one.
