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 :(

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.

its the same as a mini, get one with the best bodywork you can, mechanics are the cheaper and easier bit

Loads, if its got chrome covered sills, walk away, if the spring hangers are welded to the body, walk away. Thats just the start!!
