Although i had no way of knowing it wasnt in stock. I said you have green amber and red stock bqnds online and all were green stock to which he said well there always green. Also nothing on email to say it wasnt in stock so how was i to know ��

That moment when you have an awesome evening at your friend's garage then get home to yours, knock a light lens off the bench and smash it. Yes. That.

Got a s/h TR7 light on the way, but it's still a tenner I'd rather not have had to pay out...

I was flattening a bracket
it was late at night so didn't want to hammer it ,
so the vice was used to reduce the angle to almost flat
it was taking the pi$$ thinking I could get the bend out that way
totally abused it - good new ones are £££
so chinese it is

Does it not recognise yours then?

on 2 local ish motorfactors its not recognised, but on the one it is you go though all the menus to find no parts available.
Or in the case of Halfords I go to the selection of parts I'm after and then wants to search using the reg.
Feb 16 2017 09:37 PM -
1984mini25
But the parts I'm after are universal and non standard for mine anyway. I just didn't want to have to spend half a day doing a lap of Mk because one motorfactors cheaper or doesn't have anything. I think I'll just stick with pot luck on eBay.

Feeling annoyed when people say they want something you have for sale then never show up and terminate all communication. A simple I've changed my mind would be nice.

Or turn up, fondle and leave there mucky finger prints all over it and then decide they don't want it and might 'reconsider' if still for sale in 6 months time.
If you aren't happy buying something second-hand, then feck off, open your wallet a bit wider and buy a new one.

Or an ebay auction winner turns up to collect and says they're a few pound short on them and is that ok? I point them towards the cash point 5 minutes walk away!

Anyone know it the "Mini minor" badge and the "morris cooper" badge use the same mounting holes on a mk1 boot lid? Thanks!!

No, Morris Cooper badge is about 3" longer and holes are spaced wider apart.

The best bit about work out in the cold on the mini is coming back in to a warm house and cloths on the raditor to jump into ( just like good old school days lol )

Just be careful, I've currently got Chillbains on my toes from coming in from the cold and jumping straight into a hot bath

Decided to bite the bullet today and buy a new welder. After advice on here i settled for an R-Tech 180 MiG. Ordered at 14.55, dispatched at 15.17 and will be delivered tomorrow. Superb customer service. Highly recommend (so far).

The reviews and recommendations are what drew me in. Yes there are more powerful machines, yes you can have a Murex this or a bla bla that....but something just attracted me to this one. Much more than i wanted to pay, but the warranty and versatility of the welder sold it to me. Time will tell if it is money well spent....i'm sure it will be.

Ur money is well spent. I have a mig180 from r-tec.

I have used both the rtech mig and ac/dc tig, brilliant machines, even makes my poor welding skills look good. You will not be dissapointed.
