Yay you should fall under mine then!!! I'll be introducing myself as much as possible to Trusts within the first couple of months. You'll have to convince your procurement guys to meet with me and procure through us haha no tender process for them and all national framework - winner!

Maybe it's a money thing, cause how hard can it be to set and mark papers for primary school children? Maybe they want less holidays :P

I've away preferred using plastic bike tyre levers instead of a blunt screwdriver to put windscreens in, less chance of it shattering or breaking.

But as you doing the locking strip. push the tool into the rubber and feed the locking strip into it while you push/wiggle the tool round the rubber feeding the strip in as you go. using some soapy water in a spray bottle as lube to help the tool and the strip slide in the rubber easier.

Ben_O I put the link to the video showing how to do it with the tool as Lyndsey has it. I was merely stating it can be done without it. I have done it before with a thick piece of string inserted into the windscreen rubbed before fitting it to the car. If you push the locking strip with the palm of your hand you can get the rubber to lift up and over it by pulling out the string. The same method can be used to help get the rubber seal over the actual windscreen.

Thats good,any issues with electrics are easier to diagnose in carb models.You mentioned that your Mini doesn't like to start.If you thinking about changing battery buy battery for Peugeot 306 diesel-higher cranking amperage.

Is battery earth strap in good condition?Also battery cable lead must be in good condition,especially during the winter.I had few deep dents in my battery cable lead and had problems with starting my Mini...

Dec 09 2014 12:08 AM

One more thing-terminals on battery are tight enough?
