Someone bumped into the back of the mini this morning! Fortunately no damaged but women didn't pull over :(

I had it before a long time ago now with another woman who was so aggressive and drove off as I jumped out to look. I've also had on many occasions people bump into my cars as I'm sitting in it while they park. Just either oblivious or don't care. I totally understand it happens, but people just don't stop. She knew exactly what she'd done and I pointed to pull over (we were in a bad place) and she just drove off.

Just discovered a nice scratch down my car, no note or anything. Going to cost me probably £100 to get it touched up. Some people can't drive...

People just dont give a crap these days - that or they dont have insurance!!! My daily is parked outside my house and I noticed last week that someone had hit my bumper and taken about 8 inches of paint off, no note nothing. Cant understand it - not like its hard to see, its Bright Red!!

Just back from minispeed sale, happy with the stuff I got but there was so much more there and easily could have spent a lot more!

Was it just 10%-20% off, or did they have some real bargains just to get rid of it all? :/

GRRR! Why did I not just book the day off work, and buy some goodies for the mini?

Today has just been one of those days.... had a feeling it would be. It started out by traffic all the way to work then found out 2 of my tyres have been put on the wrong way round (inside on the outside)

seen too many tyres fitted incorrectly

How? :/ It's not difficult.

The guy wasn't thinking and they're going to sort it out on Saturday. He was probably having a day like I have today! I had a lot of trouble finding somewhere local to fit tyres to my 10" wheels in the first place haha

Make sure the drain holes in the door bottoms are present and clear, the rain fills up the inside of the door which then leaks out of the actual door from the bottom edge of the doorcard! Likewise the gaskets around the check straps need to be good.

Check the seals, both round the doors and the one the windows pushes up into. Check the door isn't misaligned - it might be squeezing the seal out of line

Thanks for all the tips, will have a good look tomorrow to see exactly where it is leaking from!

We've not really got that much choice in the mini sizes....Yoko or Falken in 165/60/12. You've reminded me that I've got to get on and refurb my 12" wheel collection!!!!! great!
Aug 06 2015 08:15 AM -
littlemissmagic
Lol yeah doesn't seem much choice! Ordered two 165/60 falkens. I'm eventually going to end up back on 10s but this is to keep him on the road while I get the suspension and tracking sorted!
Aug 06 2015 12:04 PM -

Fair enough. Not a lot more choice in 10" either...ha ha

Any good places in surrey to set up my suspension? Currently is handling badly and ride height isn't right either.... basically needing full set up.

Oh dear. Just don't seem to be having much luck lately. Well if it happens in threes then my luck should hopefully change!

Hope the third problem isn't too bad?
Jun 11 2015 10:41 PM -
littlemissmagic
Problem with the mini. The handling has been terrible and we've found that the subframe is slightly loose. Thankfully we think we know what it is and parts ordered so should be ok! :)
Jun 12 2015 06:44 AM -
BronkoMini
Ah ok, so not to bad.

So ebay are useless and will not help so my dads, my sisters and my account are all permanently suspended, and on top of that, just got a £65 fine for turning left where apparently I couldn't :(

Just had a quick squint through he resolution centre and it says that you should have received an e-mail telling you why your account has been suspended
Jun 11 2015 03:07 PM -
Ben_O
and what needs to be done to reinstate it...
Jun 11 2015 03:08 PM -
littlemissmagic
I had an email saying raised security concerns and that I would not be able to use ebay in any way. No more specifics and no chance to appeal.
Jun 11 2015 07:18 PM
littlemissmagic
I've had my ebay since 2007 and in one swift move theyve blocked it and my entire house due to a small genuine mistake?!?!?!! No help whatsoever. I've never had neg feedback or done anything wrong! Its ridiculous :(

littlemissmagic
Really? So there is at least a small bit of hope! So far I've spoken to about 7 people and my dad has spoken to about 5 and all they keep saying is the accounts are suspended and hang up! I can fully understand taking precautions, but to fully suspend my account instantly with no chance to fix it? As soon as you chat to someone they just say the accounts are suspended and end chat or hang up. What was you account suspended for if you don't mind me asking? And was it recent?
Jun 09 2015 04:13 PM -

They owe you an explanation as to why, ie what part of the policy you've broken. Also what can be done to rectify it.
Jun 09 2015 04:17 PM -
Ben_O
Agreed. Try again but tell them how disappointed you are with the way things have been handled on the other calls before you tell them about your enquiry.
