It's far too cold. Warmth and a cuppa wouldn't go amiss! It may be lazy Sunday onesie time...

it still drives ok, although the wheel is rubbing now when turned on anything more than half lock, i hope it nothing serious, but when you look at the wheel it just doesnt seem right, like its not in the centre of the wheel arch or something, took it to the local garage and they could see nothing bent or broken, so its a bit strange really

It sounds abit like mine, went into the pot hole with the left wheel, but it was the right one that started to rub on the arch - I bent the subframe and had to replace it :( Still need an adjustable geometry kit to get it driving 100% straight, it really knocks em about :(

ohh i really hope i haven't bent the subframe,the one wheel has never looked right to be honest, i just put it down to perhaps one of the wide arches not being fitted properly, but after hitting a pothole for the second time, i wonder now if i have bent it

Why are Sundays always such dull days? Not in work, not much else to do with myself! Bored bored bored with the same old cat food.

My mini is ditched from parking it at work next to a very busy road, but I can't think of anything worse than going outside and putting my hands in water.

Poor compression found in my cylinders. Estimated $1500 to fix. Ug.

Chuck a tipple of oil down the bores and run the compression test again, if its the same result it means its top end...headgasket probably, possibly a valve issue.

Thanks for the tip, Sam! They replaced the head, charged me $1275.00 - shops that deal with these cars in the states charge about $140/hr in labor. But on my way home from the shop (about a 20 mile drive) it started bucking and sputtering, and stalled out just before I got home. I got it started again, but could not accelerate or else it would rumble and die again, so I was able to get it home at about 10mph, stalling in the middle of every intersection after coming to a stop....
