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

There's some advantage to getting old. Mini 1000, £85 per year!

I have a 40 day old beard and was wearing a bandana. I also have a stare like Nigel Benn. The driver was very apologetic and, if I'm being honest, looked a bit frightened! No damage or pain so all good.

They're a terrible design. Just bin it and get a battery box to fit in there.

Its the same for any Mini Project, you fall out with it, then one day, you go for a drive and remember why you love them!

I got rid of mine. I take the risk that the vent will fill with leaves etc. But I only drive it when its bone dry anyway.

Thanks for the input guys, funnily enough the reason I was asking was due to steamy windows! The vent seems to work perfectly well, but as I said when I have the heater on the airflow is reduced and the sound of the fan changes like it is working harder if I shut the vent in the car - on a side note, if the heater is running with the vent open no air cones out of the vent... Might video it tomorrow as to better demonstrate! :) also, I picked up some rain x the other day... H...
