Initially the suspension of the BMC Mini was built around rubber under comp=
ression. Later when the 1100 series (Austin, Morris, MG, Riley, Wolseley an=
d Vanden Plas badged versions) the BMC Hydrolastic suspension was introduce=
d including into the Mini.
The Hydrolastic fluid itself was an equal mix of alcohol and distilled wate=
r plus a couple of other small additives to make it taste terrible as UK cu=
stoms officials were concerned that people would drink it. That=92s a true =
story.
It therefore had anti-freeze properties
While a fluid, to service the suspension a special gun was required to pump=
it into the system and unless you had one it was not possible to do it you=
rself.
In mid-1978 BMC or BLMC as it was known then, did away with the Hydrolastic=
suspension and introduced their Hydragas system.

Charlie,
The Austin and Morris 1100s and 1300s were very popular compact BMC four-do=
or saloons in the sixties and seventies.
MG badged them too. A friend had one with twin S.U.s It was a fun car.
They all had 'hydrolastic' suspension. You can check that out on Google.
Thousands were assembled CKD right here in Auckland by the Dominion Motor C=
ompany.
