Ah Paul, I thought I had it fixed when I finally got it in 4hours later (a mix of stubborn and inacessable bolts) only to see a puddle underneath him. Checked and it's definitely the water pump lol, labour a love I guess :)

Yeah man took me 4 hours on sunday to remove that old expansion tank, you shoulda seen it afterwards Rob, just covered in sandy looking rusty water lol. It's definitely the water pump though, I saw it leaking a few drips a second lol. Going to buy a new one this week hopefully

Charlie I mean they weld Alluminium on as tig welding (well they do on this local shop im looking at) so I was asking can they weld Allu onto steel? Doesn't mention anything about refurbing steel wheels. And Artful Dodger, that's what I'm hoping for! I don't think doing it myself would come up half as good as if I took it to somewhere professional!

no its steel on steel and alloy on alloy, The 2 don't adhere to each other. steel can be tig welded. Its just a different way of melting it

Dude, do what I'm doing and make some of your own!
Nov 15 2012 03:52 PM

brum,brum,mike

Yeah, make your own... its not that hard! I just bought some hardboard of ebay (about £4, £8 postage... probably cheaper to go to b&q)Then some double sided foam for abit of padding, draw around an old door card as a template, cut everything out. The drill holes where you want stitching! Jobs a good'un ;)

Haha Paul I was thinking that! Do the MINI's not hold their value very well then I take it? It is very lovely inside, very luxury compared to mine haha. She's very proud of it bless her. Haha Lee is sooo big inside! I had sooo much legroom it was unreal! She looks tiny in it (she isn't tall anyway) as you can see here http://m.facebook.com/?_rdr#!/photo.php?fbid=10151323341224747&id=641424746&set=a.10150114019644747.318031.641424746&relevant_count=1...
