A+ 1275cc two point fuel injected engine developing 63Ps, large bore sports exhaust system, special Cooper Sport SE badge,

extra gauges in the dash for battery condition and oil temperature. The car is also fitted with an ICT stereo system.


Current Mileage and Routine Maintenance:

After purchasing the car, I painted all the running gear and sub frames with black Smoothright, any part of the under body of the car lacking in paint was then under sealed and the whole bottom of the car was treated with Waxoil.

1000 mile or 3 month service was carried out by T.P. Topping on 1/9/00 at 1070 miles. This included: checking the steering alignment, adjusting the valve clearances, tightening the cylinder head bolts and checking fluid levels.

Oil and filter change was carried out at 1200 miles, 9/9/00 and was I glad I did due to the amount of metal fragments picked up by the magnetic oil plug.

Every week I check oil and water levels. Once a month I check brake and clutch fluid levels.

Every month, suspension joints are greased.

6000 mile or 6 month service was carried out by T.P. Topping on 12/1/01 at 3943 miles. Work carried out included; Oil and filter change, checking valve clearances, checking steering alignment, lubricating locks and door hinges, checking seatbelts and airbag, checking lights and horn, checking brakes and wheel bearings, checking and lubricating handbrake linkages, checking exhaust system, checking fluid levels and greasing suspension joints
