    That is a relay V. It's probably been added by someone else as like you say the SA cars didn't have them. However if you get a new one of those just make sure it has the same ratings (take it as a sample) and it will be a straight swap.

    Thanks Dom, I'll take to the midas down the road on Friday. Do you think I'll be able to get a standard old loom from an old 1275E?

Trying to replace the drop links on the wife's Yaris. Took 2 hours to remove the sodding nut with a proxy junior hacksaw that had rusted itself on. Hate it when you don't have the necessary tools to hand.

How do I tell the difference between 7" and 7.5" front disc while on the car? I can't measure them!

    Youre unlikely to have 7" discs unless you have an original 1960s 997 or 998 Cooper. Theyre also deathtraps in disc form.

    Do you know of any good websites for FG used parts? I've registered on MSUK, but nobody has posted a response to my wanted add, or 4wd bug to monster bug help thread. :( It's a joke.

    Been thinking about a new Mini. Perhaps a red one and spray the wheels grey to match my real Mini. I'd need a sticker that says "I Have a Real Mini At Home".

    Binis are cool :) I like the idea of making it like your classic and I had a sticker on the back of my saying 'my other car is an original mini'

    have you had the carb apart? It might just be gummed up?

    I've had it apart and cleaned it up.. So I really don't know what's wrong with it. If I get a chance I will take it off and get some pics and try the other carb I have
