I have just unsuccessfully tried to remove a rubber cone and trumpet on the front of my mini as the cone is stuck on the end of the trumpet and i cant get it out any ideas?

lol, a pain in the arse this! If there was room to move in there then it might be easier too. Other than trying to free it with a pry bar or gentley tapping it with a hammer, you left with one choice - a bigger hammer and smash the little bugger out. If you hit the trumpet part it will break and come free. Do you have a spare trumpet to replace it with? PM me if you don't ;)

Good luck and find a bigger hammer, you'll need it more than once with a mini!
