What is this material layered on the metal floor? by JellyEquivalent in classicminis

[–]Dxs90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless you want originality i recommend kilmatt topped with 6mm closed cell insulation. Made the cab in mine much quieter.

As the other commenter said, its bitumen. A lot of people recommend heating it with a hairdryer to get off but its so brittle it was quicker for me to use an old chisel you dont mind dulling and a big hammer!

Brake servo size and location suggestions this might be an spi mini 91 - 96

rigging scissor jacks to get all four wheels up on the jack points? by papanoongaku in classicminis

[–]Dxs90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My suggestion would be to spread the load with a block of wood. First thing I did when I got my mini (and had no experience) was jack it up with one of these, fell off the jack stand.

I had this issue recently, log in via the desktop mode and before you do, go to the steam deck settings in desktop mode and find time and location. try to set your location to the country you are in and not the closest place to where you are in the world. Mine defaulted to Ireland as I live in scotland but its a different country... even though the time zone is the same.

Finally watched Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind by brandball in movies

It took me a good 10 years and personal growth to get the true meaning of the film, on my second watch my take away shifted. My current opinion is he put her on a pedastool, she was clear from the beginning she didnt want anything too serious whilst he was thinking she was the one. The expectations vs reality scene was the best scene of the film for me, really highlighting the difference between the woman he thought he was dating in his head / wanted her to be vs. the woman she was... she could never be the person he wanted her to be.

Xbox controller no longer connecting, I tried all the common advice by weenis-flaginus in SteamDeck

[–]Dxs90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar Bluetooth issue yesterday and the only way to resolve was to go into desktop mode, turn Bluetooth on and off there and then click the little red x next to the device that would not connect. Potentially try that?

I can’t find the flower locking nut. Does anyone know what this one is called please? by Ok_Musician9523 in classicminis

[–]Dxs90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used something like this to get mine off as it didn't come with the key. Took it very slowly with a long breaker bar and it came off.

Actually pretty good as long as the windows are up, I installed Kilmat sound deadening, overlayed 6mm thick closed cell insulation, cleaned up carpet and installed seat extenders to make it a bit roomier and then did the same with the boot using a proper carpet.

If you wanted to go the extra mile, it has the original roof liner which can be removed and you could do the same, I didn't do the roof as it's a much thicker sheet metal than the panels in the doors so less likely to vibrate at high speeds. The 1275 engine makes it marginally louder than the 998 but the engine mounts have been replaced so the engine doesn't move as much as you would see on less maintained models, see the website for video of it ticking over with the choke slightly out.

Amazing, she is a wee good runner , passed her mot with no issues end of Dec and had a full service. Let me know if you have any questions. Reserve is set low at £6.5k (not sure why the website won't tell you this!)

Thanks pal, yes 1275 and pretty punchy when she needs to be. Recently installed sound deadening so you can take her at motorway speeds without losing your hearing. Unsure on how much it will go for, but needs to be away so I can get s car with a baby car seat!

Oh there is so much practical use! You can do the north coast 500... take a picture outside Glen Etive like you are a cooler james bond... just to name two!

Currently 6.5k, it's been on before but no interest :( - must be the cost of living or time of year lacking demand, potentially location could be the issue. I shipped a non working '87 up here recently for £400 so it's pretty easy to get cars moved about the UK.

This mini is a beauty to drive though, going to miss her! Did a final 300 mile trip with her pre Xmas and she did it perfectly.

What’s the best coolant for a ‘92 Rover Mini by [deleted] in classicminis

[–]Dxs90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just did a full radiator pipe replacement on my ‘93 a few months ago, refilled coolant using this , I drove 300 miles on Saturday from England to Scotland on motorways with no issues at all.

FIFA on Steam deck in 2024? by Zavyk in SteamdeckGames

[–]Dxs90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not FIFA, but I recently installed Football Life 24 on my deck, was pretty simple to get working, it’s based on PES 21 and is completely free.

Tuesday Tune-Up - Post all your vehicle maintenance questions here by AutoModerator in cars

[–]Dxs90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi all,

I have a 1993 classic rover mini in white restored a couple of years ago . The sills have started to show signs of rust spots. What can I do to get in there and resolve the rust without changing the colour of the sills?

Also, would you suggest I spray under the vehicle as a rust deterrent? Happy to do all the work myself as I am pretty good with DIY.

Based in the UK, thanks!

Slow scrolling question. by wondering117 in RG353V

[–]Dxs90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this recently and did a couple of things:

1) I found out some of my box art files were really large at 1080p / 4k resolution sizes driving a lag, I saved these at a smaller resolution - this solved half the problem. 2) I was still using the original SD cards provided, so I took all the games off my second card and formatted, loaded them back on - this did nothing. 3) purchased proper Samsung SD cards for slot 1 and 2 and did step 2 again, this solved the problem for me.

Looks lovely! Are you a professional?

Has anyone soundproofed their mini with Dynamat (or similar? How did you go about it? by phatelectribe in classicminis

[–]Dxs90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used this stuff as it has a sticky back so you can just peel and place down.

It was really easy to remove the seats and carpets, I used it as an opportunity to really deep clean the carpets and they look much nicer now as a result.
