Sitting in Sheldon like some chauffeur waiting for the missus to get her nails done. Blooming Essex birds....!

Has anyone upgraded their courtesy light to LED? If so, can you be so kind as to send me a link for a direct swap bulb?

    These are the LED ones, you just need to work out what size you need to get.

    Awesome, just ordered some. They come free with double sided tape, but how would that fit to the front of the car?

    I used the original plates as templates and drilled new holes in the new plates mate

    Ok cool, mine look like they've got some weird sticky pad stuff on the back of the mounts anyway, will bodge em regardless.

Anyone used Penrite Classic Mini Oil before? Just seen in MiniMag they're doing an offer on it. Anyone recommend it?

Beautiful day, perfect driving weather. If only the bleeding battery didn't need a full charge..... balls :/

    Would be useless mate, the battery has dead cells in it so it doesnt hold charge. Dont get paid until next weekend so I cant even get a new battery until then :(

Just got my new K&N air filter, quick question. It's already got some sort of factory oil on it, should I clean this off and re oil it or is it good to go in straight away?

So, as I leave my house for work today, I notice what looks like a rather large piece of metal behind Sheldon. As I looked, it turns out it's an early Mini bootlid that my neighbour has given me! Absolute result! Well chuffed, can't wait to get home and open it! :D

    Well happy dude! Even if it aint an early one (didnt get to see it properly, was in a rush) I still got it for free. I think it is a MK1 or 2 as it looks like Almond Green and my neighbour kept going on about old Mini parts he found in his garage lol

    If you go down the Hydro Dipped route theres a company called www.mydipkit.com, Ive never used them but a friend of mine uses his car as a promotional car for them. Looks amazing you can pretty much dip any thing, with a huge variety of patterns. Link below is a photo of his car and engine bay :P
