Cool, I'll see if I can find a copy then. I'm sure they'll be one somewhere cheaper than that ebay one! Thanks for your help!

i used envelopes and a pen to stores bits and bobs as when plastic bags gets oil on it the pen disperses. the engines are not that complex as you think. its the cleaning,checking and measuring that takes up the time.

Fired up the mini to wake it from it's winter hibernation. But no tax means no fun driving it

Overheard a neighbour ranting that the alarm on the mini scared his dog off (walks it off a lead to run free and **** where it likes) but what the ******* fails to realise. My alarm wouldn’t being going off if someone (you can guess who) didn’t go around trying to open (deliberately left unlocked) the boot of the mini to nick tools and stuff from within, which also happens to be empty.

I don't think he'd be trying to nick stuff from the boot of the mini again in hurry, as I don't think he was expecting it to have any sort of alarm fitted.

2 miles is an easy walk. If you're doing short journeys then make sure you take it for a long drive me on the weekend and make sure you get the engine HOT.

2 miles is an easy walk, not so much when taking 2 guitars, a 2000W concert amp, a multicore and a mixing desk about with you! haha, I took it for a good run today, covered about 30 miles - such a nice day with the sun showing its self!

Great news I'm in a similar situation regarding garage I'm currently have two extensions built at home and guess what my current Bolt together garage is in the way my project eko will be out of action for a while until my new garage is built. Good luck with the move and sorting out the garage I've just started clearing mine you don't realise how much stuff builds up
