Yup same for me, about 40 mins after buying, conked out and had to join the AA there and then for £120 :D dodgy wire going to the coil, and it was at night in January!

Hehe oh been there. It's a treat. But taught me not to be scared of it braking down after a few hours at the side of the M1 haha.

I haven't owned it long, but I doubt it would see much motorway.
I've driven on a motorway only once in my Mini... Anything above 65 is a little nerve racking anyway haha.

I've snapped a ball joint before and I though that was bad. Then I snapped my front subframe last week -.-

old original

Took a hell of a bang on both front & back nearside but everything still feels ok. I might take a look underneath just in case....

I didn't notice my subframe until I looked underneath, worth a look

Damn you! Grrr. Only got a heated rear windscreen. I don't need it really because my car is kept inside a garage during the night. :) Sound like a good upgrade.

Wish I had fitted one during my van restoration but the Minispares Dec sales offer was to irresistible to pass up.

Sump plug? Though that is more central. How much oil is it losing?

Rocker gasket would be my bet. Would be a cheap and easy fix if that was the case.

Cheap and easy sounds good! Afraid she'll be moving on this year so someone can make her lovely again. Last night to this morning was about a 6cm circle on drive, have put plastic sheet underneath so will see in the morning again

At the bottom of my profiles about me part, the engine is great, no rust under it, and brand new leather interior, but, the paint is destroyed and every panel, even the roof is badly dented, stop in a month or so its being restored, at the moment its not to my taste at all outside
