Brand new JCW, you can have a valved exhaust. Valve closed means you have a silencer, valve open means no silencer

it is generally flame retardant, probably melt first

so it might just be suitable for use under the bonnet, as I'm looking for something that won't end up acting like a giant sponge with condensation.

It has a low melting temp. Wouldn't risk it.

That's why I want to keep it insured Pingu. But it's so expensive, hoping for something like £10.

Some policies won't award you NCB if you insure it not to move. Check the fine print.

Pingu

your best bet is to call them up as miles will obviously lower, state what garage it's in, stirring lock kept on, wha lock is on the garage i.e. master lock number 10 and they might drop it down for you.

Great car to drive and easily upgraded to Cooper performance with a bluefin.

Check the Rover gearbox on pre-2004 models for bearing noise, check everything electrical works and don't worry if the power steering whines. PS pumps can fail but are an easy diy job but allow £200 for a recon pump if it does.

Also look up 'death rattle' on Google. Had to replace a few engines in the past.

I think the 'death rattle' problems were only on the later Mk2 Cooper S introduced in 2007?

The R53 JCW MINI is a very addictive car to drive...sounds like the new ones are fun too!

The microwave is brand new. I doubt the guy I have to work for would screw me over and if he has then I will promptly be dumping them on his front lawn

I had like 6 people all getting excited about me making one wasn't any point that's why I didn't bother updating last thread of my 1380 anymore

Meh, build threads are for the builder really. I use it to share with friends and family on what I'm doing. I don't use the book of faces so this is what they use.

The problem is that most of us (oldies??) are still content plodding along with our A Series engines - other young fellas will pop in to look for something more exciting like a VTEC build - dont lose hope :-) Very few other forums out there that are so supportive and friendly
