    Why did you bother with them Dusky, you are on TMF enough to know their reputation! Only once have I tried to buy from them. I had so much grief I've never bothered since.

    Because Google Photos don't give you an IMG code to use on a forum. Photobucket or Imgur is what you need

    I thought something was different with it. They used to give you a direct link to the image, but it seems they put an end to that. Photobucket it is then. Thanks!

    Broken wire ? What voltage do you get at battery terminals when engines running ? It should be around 14.4v

    I had the same issue months ago, turned out to be a combination of dodgy connections, I changed the fuse box and all of the push fuse connectors behind the air filter, not had a problem since

    It will be getting the suspension properly set-up at some point. Caster, camber and toe are all out, and would like it to handle like a mini should. I still think the metro drive flanges have caused some positive camber though. :/ Thanks for your response. It was annoying me quite a bit.

    Why don't you have a go at setting it up yourself? Because I was messing with my ride height every five minutes I decided to give it a go. A couple of tape measures, a digital level and flat, level ground and its transformed my handing.

    I would rather take it to a mini specialist, such as Bill Richards, to set it up properly. :) If it was just toe in/out I would do it at work, but I can't set caster or camber accurately.

    Yes lots of experts on early tuning parts and companies on their forum and the main website below has old brochures, etc:-

    some of those new cones are not made correctly and lift the car miles to high, I had the issue with the ones from p&l minis before took them off in the end.

    My new cones have never really fully settled, as above I've heard a lot about more recent cones making the car sit too high. Hopefully yours will after a while tho.
