I wonder if anybody who had a mini as a first car and upgraded after a little while regretted it

A Mini should be driven no matter what the weather, just give it a good wash afterwards if you are worried about it turning to rust.

There was a massive amount of criticism last year that Councils did not grit enough so it has gone the other way now. The trouble is the salt will accelerate the rust :(

Looking at Binis on Ebay. They are proper cheap! I am thinking of getting one and thrashing it!

Not bothered if its trash; my Focus is dying so just need a daily driver for a little bit. I have ordered a new fault code reader as mine won't read the code; fingers crossed its just a £12 crank sensor issue.

You know its gonna be the fuel pump. Is there a scrappy out and about your way, I know there is a few still by the old Ford factory in Dagenham. See if you can find a used one from a low Mileage car. Not one thats done 142 thousand miles ;-)

I fear it may be as it is rattly on cold start. But the cutting out is new. Fault code comes up so I will know when new code reader arrives. I really don't want to spend mega money on it as I may get a lease car soon. If its NFG I'll scrap it and buy a cheap Bini.
