At this point in time, I really dislike my mini :\ I have spent many hours trying to remove the flywheel housing to change the release bearing and I still can't get to the last two bolts...

Guess the mini isn't getting worked on today. Put the trolley jack underneath and it started raining. GRRR! :(

When my adverts on ebay say collection only, why do people ask if I would post it.

I get this too, but I really don't mind and happy to look into posting even when I state collection only, and vice versa. I've asked a few times before that say collection only eith no postage option. But they been more than happy to add postage option or we just sort it out after

Any idea how long oil takes to burn off from the inside of the exhaust? Just replaced the shot valve guides and it's still smoking (though not as severe)

Not a mini, but a mate put a new exhaust on his mg zr, off a turbo car were the seals went and dumped loads through the system, must of done like 50/60 miles
