Mini+snow+salt=rust - you wouldn't believe how much salt they put on the roads here... AND winter tyres are the law in Germany (which I haven't got) :-(

New game mini
Finally finished renewing all of my suspension donuts! If they ever need doing again I will either sell the car or sell myself in a vain attempt to raise the funds to pay somebody else to do it!! :p

Dunlop R7's, has anyone got them on their Mini? Any reviews? My Cooper is being built as a 60's racer, so wanting the period look tyres.

R7's look great and grip very well but they don't have a very deep tread to start with and don't last long if you drive enthusiastically. The Yokohama A032 lasts better than the R7 and is a better tyre than the 008.

What are you intending to provide in terms of services? You'll only be down the road in Kettering.

5J is perfect for 'special arches', with 165/60R12 tyres. :)

Thank you Anthony30 x

You can still fit the wider 165/60r12 tyres on 4.5J wheels though, you don't need the extra wheel width, but fits the arches much better. I would recommend yoko A539 165/60r12 tyres based on good reviews.

What stage 1 kit would you fit to a 1100 engine, but with a 1275 head? Should it be a 1275 kit, or a 998/1098 kit?

Wonder if the mini is going to start tomorrow. Hasnt been started for nearly 4 weeks. I know its not very long compared to some you see locked away for years, but my mini has been frustrating to me. Especially as i havent got any mechanical experience, which will change this year for sure.

I've got her home :-).. she's lights up like she's supposed to do, new halogen headlamps even the interior light works :-) and to top it all off...I HAVE HEAT whoop whoop..
But he did say that she's not sounding quite right. She's popping when revved up.
He then asked when I want a alarm or immobiliser putting on her!
It cost me £144 Inc. parts, labour & tax
I'm very pleased that she's home and better....
