Not very long TBF. Just a few little bits left, 14 points. I see what you did there MiniMadCraig. :) Take it your still on the forum a lot then?

:( It will be worth it if you can get the mini running better by spending a bit on it though.

Yep. Really is the job I hate doing. Such a PITA. I enjoy removing/fitting heads, fitting manifolds ect. I also needed to remove the tank to fit new pipes, and needed to remove the tank cover. what a PITA. But, to be fair, I did build that particular problem. :/

I need to remove the tank to get to the rear taillight cluster and I'm dreading the job. Mainly since draining the tank seems like a good way to end up getting fuel everywhere.

What are you implying about the other guy? Maybe, like me, Minis make them poor and they can't stomach too much risk.

I just think It's sad that there's no trust within the community anymore. More and more scammers out there willing to rip people off doesn't help the situation either. :(

You are good for bringing up the issue. I'd add, We probably do this because business has become so impersonal and integrity is an afterthought. Lucky there is TMF and the like, otherwise we'd be on our own.

:) Don't think I would like to work with minis to be honest. I would rather keep my hobbies and work live separate, if possible. Some days I would rather have a desk job, but it would bug me sitting on a computer all day, 5-6 days a week. I do also enjoy the majority of my work.

Working as a mechanic by trade, I can honestly say I'd rather it just be a hobby, it does take the enjoyment out of working on the mini. Not that I'd change anything, just my two pence lol

I don't know. I still enjoy working on the mini at home, but can't be bothered fixing other peoples cars sometimes. Rather just service, and chuck it out. :/ Hopefully be a MOT tester in 2 years time. I would rather do that all day.

Thanks. So it can't fail the MOT on that then, if that's how it come standard. :)
