Yeah we do, unless it's changed lately. You buy as normal and then if I remember correctly, you get an email afterwards showing your discounts

Still too damp to spray. Oh well - it'll have to wait until I am back from holiday.

Yes very unique little things. I've now decided to spend the money on getting my r/c car running again. It might be 1/5 scale, but unfortunately the prices are not proportional to the scale. :(

When do people normally put Minis into hibernation and take them back out again?

-
chrisxr2
It's really just the salt on the roads you need to avoid in winter. Other than that good to get it out and blow away some cobwebs as redruby says.

Why do people on Jeremy Kyle insist on wearing a tracksuit, with their hat the wrong way? If your going on national TV, wear a suit for goodness sake!

I think the show chavs them up, and I believe they are given some beer before going on stage to liven things up too.

Is it easy to change a cylinder head mounted heater valve, for one of the later inline types?

-
pusb
Cool, is the inline/SPI type held in place by anything? Or do the pipes just secure it?
Aug 28 2015 05:11 PM -
clubman91
Just the pipes and cable =)

Pipes secure it and the cable just needs to be fitted nicely

putting my mini through a Mot having cab/ running to rich has a standard 1990 carb. what needle to i need to make it run less rich was thinking AAV? thanks

-
1984mini25
Even simpler solution, depending upon if the carb has a nut (hs4) or a screw (hif38/44) just adjust the nut/screw a few flats/half a turn to lean off the mixture, pass the mot and then do the opposite to reset it back afterwards.
