It was my first car too, and I learnt and took my test in it. So it means the world to me! Driving back from work yesterday with the sun shining was amazing! :D

I'm the same as above it means you have a stronger bond with the car.

The emissions were terrible too. But at least the car will be put right, and it's an opportunity to get a RC40/Maniflow that I always wanted :)

The key plus point there is that there was no mention of body corrosion issues, which is great news. I assume it is the back subframe which has been faulted, which isn't too bad a job.

Yeah it is the rear subframe :)

haha I haven't even started yet. Only start on Monday but I've been home for 2 weeks already and the boredom is starting to set in.

Yeah I know what that feels like. At first it is really nice being back at home, but then it just gets boring

I'd have kicked him out the car and said that a mini cannot tolerate that level of stupidity.

I hate the stuff to be honest, but it's right near college. I was walking past and noticed it. :)

What pizza did it order?
Jun 04 2015 08:21 AM

Anthony30

Don't like pizza, It's awful. I was in early for a maths exam, and noticed the mini parked up at Pizza Hut, when walking from the car park to the college. On another note I paid £5 to park the damn thing. GRRR. :(

Tried that but it's very broken, It rattles when you shake it. I have used one from a less used light for now

I can send you one if you want?

It's all good now thanks folks. Gonna pick one up in the little electrical shop up the road when they open. Thanks for the offer though Jamie

it's a modification because it is a deviation from what was fitted as standard, assuming your car didn't come with em and they were changed later.. It would be easy for an insurance company to claim it was done to improve the handling, which then suggests that you were trying to improve 'performance' with the subsequent implication that you would use this new found performance...

OfMini&Men

Then you can say non genuine parts are a modification aswell. I told my insurance company id soild mounted mine and they didn't even put it up

But I'm still a learner at the moment and when I pass my insurance will already be high enough. For a complete set of new rubber mounts it's almost £100 + VAT from Minispares! I might have to go non-genuine :(
