I'm feeling a bit better today thanks, but I'm still feeling at a dead end with something I found out recently.

not quite :P just who ever designed my 3rd brake light designed the bulbs to be pushed through from the back, hence the larger leds don't even fit. the only way I can get them to fit would be to glue them in place in the holders and then solder them together.

That is less that ideal. Surely they were designed for a mini? I am not a fan of having to glue things into place that aren't supposed to need glue.

the 3rd brake light unit (universal aftermarket one) and led bulbs weren't designed for a mini. But then it wouldn't have been a problem if the bulb holders had been designed properly.

i'm not doing to well, although at least I haven't had an ear infection for a good few months. just as long as I don't have to have it irrigated again. Felt properly weird last time.

I had to, completely the wrong time of year for painting and with the mini stuck outside I could do without an excuse for any rust to start.

Tea contains more caffeine than coffee though.
Don't get me wrong i love coffee, black, white, espresso, mocha, cappuccino, you name it, ill drink it!

Ummm, sorry dude, but I am pretty sure it is the other way around, a cup of coffee has more caffeine.

right now I don't mind what beverage, just as long as its hot. as I'm bloody freezing after spending over an hour in a cold pool(well is to me being skinny)and then a drive home in an equally freezing mini. :(

Why do I always have to fix something first before I can do what should be a simple 5 to 10 minutes job?

It might have been best to check the if the spare led I’d just wired up to illuminate the switches at night, was rated for 12v >_<

how can I add an extra interior light to work along side the original, but having already run out of feeds at the starter solenoid and fuse box?

yeah, that's right, not sure why that line fuse is 10amps as I can't imagine the interior light and indicator warning light ever getting close to 10A, but then some of the fuse ratings in the mini don't make any sense to me so meh, :D

Why don't you just put one bigger one in?

I don't get the fuse ratings on minis used over the years. After having a look at the mini and not the Haynes book of lies. Because mine is the earlier ones to inline fuses, the interior light and hazards shared fuse is actually 15amps, not 10amps like the later ones. Still the extra interior light is all wired up and working now.

I had thought of using tap washers, but they might end up being too thick.

Why do some brain dead idiots instantly assume and start taking the piss when a cars bonnet is open. Coming out with crap like “Are you trying to get the engine to work again?" or “your car must be really crap/unreliable”.

I get it from people at work when I check my car over in the car park. There is a reason I do it at work. Their car park is flat where as my drive is on a slope.
