Might be getting kicked out of my unit in July, and my mini is nowhere near finished! :(

I wish. I'm not taking any chances with the sun, this could be our summer! Also I had a two hour gap between lectures.

Wish I had a two hour gap during servicing cars. :) Only get 1/2 hour for lunch. :(

I've never had two hours between lectures where I could just chill... very envious

So my friend is using an A-series engine as a generator. Works beautifully :)

The A-series is a thing of beauty, whether it is running or not :)

I can't remember the name of the member let alone the thread. He had like a Canadian road warning sign as his avatar?

Anyone in Southend, Essex (or know anyone) who can have a quick look over my mini to identify why it isn't starting? Thanks

Had some random guy earlier ask the mgp of the mini, only to then say it was **** compared to the 60mpg from his fiesta ecoboost. It may well be, but then the mini is 30 years old and certainly didn't cost me 17k to buy in the first place.

For a daily driver around 40 MPG should stop your bank manager giving you ear ache. :) You can't put a figure on style and class anyhoo!

my focus ecoboost manages 46mpg combined; not far off my mini. The only difference is that Ford claims over 60mpg combined.

I've used the Fuel Buddy app religiously for 6 months, never got over 34 mpg in my 1293 clubby estate.

Don't k ow why I bother sometimes. spend over an hour replacing the heater cable to then put it all back, pull the knob to check it works and it comes off in my hand!!!! So contact heat for the time being.

Ah no I did think about camping but I heard the horror stories so thought it's best to avoid. Plus I'm a snob :)

Mini started fine all over the weekend. Today - nothing. Totally dead. No ignition lights - zero. No obvious reason but probably the battery. Don't you just love the complete lack of warnings from a Mini ...

Does the red right on the dash always point to the alternator? or could it be something else?

could be a bad connection in the loom to the alternator.

Must be that as it only comes on after a drive not on start up, gonna have to add it to my big list of things to do!

What’s the point in being given a mobile number to arrange an interview, only for the mobile number to not be recognised.
