Going to get a set of coil springs for Henry - which ones are best? I'd like it to be a decent upgrade in comfort, not hugely worried about performance as I dont drive him hard. :)

    Not a massive difference in the 2 to be honest.

New lambda, intake and coolant temp sensors ordered for Henry. Why are Mini's so sodding expensive? :(

Gearbox is buggered! Sort of pleased though, because finally it can go off to GuessWorks for a refresh :D

    Might as well swap the diff to liven it up a bit.

    @Midas Mk1: Its not just a new gearbox, this price includes all labour and GuessWorks' engine refresh service.
    @Noah, yeah thats what I was thinking! What do you reckon I should put in? Its all very well it being good for motorway journeys, but that's not what Mini's are for!
    @anthonysjb, just leaving a roundabout, go to put it in second gear and an almighty CRUNCH. Now 1st 2nd and 3rd crunches.

Clutch feels very spongey and light, has a lot of travel and doesnt properly disengage... What is the problem?

    Occasionally it goes back to its usual self, but soon returns to being squishy light and horrible.

    a cheap test/fix is to renew the fluid and bleed them

    They're pretty good, just regularly clean the bracket riveted to the bowl (aswell as the rivets), as their not stainless. They fit to the std rover brackets too! :)

    I had wipac's installed before... Two questions! Will they fit the same bracket as the wipacs, and are they better than wipacs? :)
