Looking at a new car, take the Mini off the road for a bit of TLC and I like the look of a Golf...

Astra rad fan not working, so thought it might be a good idea to sort it out, given the temp ATM. :)

I thought the same with my Boxster! All fixed but now the roof won't work! Typical when it's hot weather

Fitted a KAD short shifter, can go from 1st to 2nd but not 3rd to 2nd, anyone have any idea why?

It's quite stiff

I bet you have the same problem as me. The nylon ball on the end of the stick is too large for the fork in the gear selector. I spoken to KAD about it and they said that the size of the forks varies across the years of mini production. Their nylon balls are all tested for size using a GO / NO GO gauge, but the tolerance between that and fork will mean on minis that the lever is stiff to move.

Ah right, thanks for that, it's a bit of a pain how they're stiff because of that.
