I know half the time to other motorists we're invisible on the road, but in a mini it's much worse!! Next mini will have huge spots and a very loud horn ;-)

Yes indeed!!! Just done a fifty mile round to parents house through the new forest some A/B roads and a bit of Motorway. Considering my Mini is still running in and needs a RR session, I was well happy with the way she drove :)

Sounds great, I'm always living life on the edge when driving around no working fuel gauge or temperature so both are quite useful. Been an expensive month so hope to get both fixed soon. Engine sounds good plenty of poke unsure if still the original 998 but much better with new plugs in last weekend.

Wasn't me chap. Was it a halfords pro set you got? They're great value! Apart from the plastic cases they're in. Got all my stuff in a 4' high tool chest now :D

Made by Goodyear, as long is it doesn't break until after oil change its paid for itself which is good enough for me.

Yes mate, finally !! Advisory was subframe corroded not as bad as it sounds. Only surface rush so needs a rub down and coating with underseal.

Gutted mate, it was the other end of the fuel pipe annoyed with the mechanic you would have thought he would have checked it all. Now gonna cost another £35 but at least it's only one problem for now...
