Given up with eBay, ordered a quantity of imperial plain nuts/nylocs and get sent the correct sizes/quantity, but in washers and wants me to pay for returns (no ******* chance). Looks like I’ll be refitting my suspension back together the old rusty/crusty fixings.

I’m not going to say what I was looking at to find this, well ok this… http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=401968 but I wonder if these would fit a mini? https://en-gb.facebook.com/LegoBatteryCovers/

£240 and another £80 for the removal/refitting of the tyres on a set of 12” mini wheels refub…. rattle cans it is then.

How wide are the rubbers on new wind up window weather strips? As my external passenger side ones doesn’t touch the glass at no point along its length, and is quite a bit of gappage in the middle. Just wondering if it’s the weather strip or door skin before wasting £30 on new weather strips.

Has anyone bought a set of the £30 HEKO wind deflectors on ebay, what are they like?

Is it some new law that you now have to drive with your left hand indicator on for the next few miles? Ended up following a sign written vw transporter for 1.5 miles, then a 67 plate kia for 2.6 miles. And once that dozy driver had finally realized, the black 02 plate corsa behind it did the same for the remaining half mile before I turned off at the next roundabout.

Placed an order for some stickers Friday afternoon with IdleGear via Facebook, turned up Saturday morning. No issues with them and of far better quality than the crap Martin (stickyfingers) turned out after weeks of hassle and missing sections. And Idle Gear were slightly cheaper for a better quality product.

Every new item I’ve bought from various mini ‘specialists’ has either been wrong and didn’t fit or had to be modified to fit. Or on the rare chance it does fit, it still has to be replaced with another new item. Like why would you sell window trim cut to length for the front windscreen that was an inch and half too short?

Why are my Pm’s taking so long to load or not letting me reply?

F**king eBay mini ‘specialists’ selling stock they don’t have, yet more time wasted.

Don’t you love eBay. Just bought and item needed ASAP. Only to be messaged by the seller 3 hours later that they can’t post the item for two weeks. Why bother listing it in the first place? Still if it hasn’t arrived within a week, PayPal it is (again)

Martin @ sticky fingers. 5 weeks just for some simple stickers, Paid 2 weeks ago, and still nothing, messages not replied to. Pay pal claim it is then.

Am I the only one getting slightly frustrated and annoyed at how backwards this? With an increasing trend of buyers wanting the seller to call them? Is it just me that thinks that’s a little backwards, rude and lazy on the buyers part?

Minis don’t half pick their timing to play up. Now where can I get parts for a 33 year old car before a bank holiday weekend >_<

Dumb question, can you use a pre verto clutch plate in a verto clutch?
