There's always somewhere you can put a mini.

Exactly what I thought.

My heater gets going within a minute or so - pretty much warm soon as your moving! Am I right in thinking that I should keep the drivers air vent open as a sort of recirculation? the air flow is much better with the air vent open?

Not sure how it works on the air conditioned minis, however on conventional you get an outside feed from the O/S wing vent pipe which is also where the fresh air feed comes from. I only ever use mine to clear the windscreen if it's misty. Blocked off the other vents with the centre console.

Yep, just changed the exhaust yesterday to a maniflow

Also got a maniflow on my mini thirty. 1.75'' twin box side exit. A bit too quiet for me really, but good for motorways ect.

i did think about the twin box but decided on the single, she does sound very goo but not as loud as the ASBO fletcher I had on it! If I get my brake lights MOT next week

Hehe - there may have been a slight bit of sarcasm in there Steve.. Haha! General parts for minis are very reasonable although there is of course the large number of expensive goodies that we could only dream of! *drools over supercharger kit*

Steve220

I'm going to be honest when I say this - the supercharging kits for the mini aren't expensive. For what they are and the power gains available i believe they are well priced. A lot is in proportion of your income, if you are on bare bones I can understand why they appear expensive.

Second hand engines are expensive!
I bought a Rover VVC engine with 70k miles for £180 last year, It'd cost you far more for a worn out 1275 in need of a rebuild!

Well if it makes you feel any better, it looks as though the piston rings on the scamp are gone too

My engine is perfectly ok. Only gets started on a weekly basis now though.
