After I've installed my Minitastic coil spring kit, is there anything I need to have done? Tracking etc?

Only if you change the ride height, or as artful said, mess with the TRE's :) But the ride height will be all over the shop for the first few weeks, it takes a fair bit of trial and error to keep it right through the settling period, thats from personal experience lol! But persevere, once settled they are superb, best thing Ive ever bought for any Mini for cost vs. improvement.

you may want to have the toe angle looked at is all,tracking shouldn't be a problem

Yeah it is, it really had no pull in it all and it was a 1275. I remember the first time I went in my friends 998 and I was surprised with how nippy it actually feels. This just seemed to struggle everywhere, not sure if this was head gasket. Apart from this problem (head gasket, I think) i really wanted it so I was disappointed to say no. The search continues

If the seller will let you do a compression test to confirm and use it to get the price down. A head gasket is easy and cheap to change so if the rest of the car seems ok you could get a bit of a bargin!

Thanks for the replies, that is something definitely worth considering.
I'm just worried because, I'm not sure how long that problem has been there (causes more damage if its been left?) and I'd have to drive it home like that and something bad could happen along the way
