Completely chickened out and cancelled an important doctors appointment again. Wimp. But on the plus side, my minispares loom arrived (with no nasties on the box, thank you, Simon haha) and I have procured a HIF44 from someone very local which I shall collect this weekend! Whayhey!!

Least you've got a mini! well, a roadworthy one anyway. Dont sell it or stop using it, you'll regret it more than you'll regret the unreliability ;)
Jan 02 2015 10:20 AM -
lyndseyp27
I definitely shan't be selling. She will be off the road end of Jan (after Bingley) for a refurb. She's my little lady haha

Ok so daily Fiesta Ecoboost is soon to be joined by an Audi A3 (company car) which means time for the Mini to be taken off the road and get sorted. After Bingley of course.... exciting/expensive times!!

According to the statistics I can find online the Astra should have it. The 1.9 engine is the same as in the Vectra. Its either the 120 or 150bhp version. The audi is only 104bhp and the two weigh about the same.

Loving all the snow! Hehe the mini enjoyed the little trip out too. Hope you all had a great Boxing Day and Christmas!

On average you could get one for around a 1000 pounds that would be relatively clean and wouldn't require much work.

She lives in Morningside, Durban. Is that anywhere near you?
Dec 26 2014 10:32 PM -
Vinay-RS
Nope. I'm im Cape Town. Though I wouldn't get a car from Durban either, more likely to have some rust. Well I guess she could just search for a while. There was a van for sale here for R3000 which is... wait for it... 194 pounds!

28 large dominos pizzas destroyed at work. Minis both washed and looking pretty. Pavlova on the go. Alcohol chilling and take away soon with the family... Must be Christmas eve or something. I hope everyone has a fabulous day tomorrow and gets everything they want.
