Yes indeed!!! Just done a fifty mile round to parents house through the new forest some A/B roads and a bit of Motorway. Considering my Mini is still running in and needs a RR session, I was well happy with the way she drove :)

Sounds great, I'm always living life on the edge when driving around no working fuel gauge or temperature so both are quite useful. Been an expensive month so hope to get both fixed soon. Engine sounds good plenty of poke unsure if still the original 998 but much better with new plugs in last weekend.

Ah I see, yes they do. As the diagram above shows, bushes/seals and washers are used. Numbers 17, 18 and 19 on that diagram.

Wasn't me chap. Was it a halfords pro set you got? They're great value! Apart from the plastic cases they're in. Got all my stuff in a 4' high tool chest now :D

Made by Goodyear, as long is it doesn't break until after oil change its paid for itself which is good enough for me.

It's a rover K series one, looking to hopefully squeeze a 1.8 VVC in, should be very interesting when it's done!
