She's alive ... the mini breathes again, although if she was a ship she would be at the bottom of the ocean the amount of water in her :(

Spent most of today enduring jokes about looking like the defendant and polishing turds as I was being fitted for a suit ready for my sister's wedding in March.

Hit a pothole and snapped the front cross member straight down where the lower steady bolts to. I'm south of Guildford but have possibly found a replacement

Had the same on my Cooper.
Bit of alignment and welding fixed it

I've snapped one in the same place going over a pothole too, luckily second hand front subframes are quite cheap

Daily car has broke. What would cause a sudden loss of compression on a Fiesta? Sounds like a food blender when cranking.

I'm not going to investigate it too much, I'm scrapping it as its not worth doing anything with. Just curious as to what it can be.

snapped cam belt ?

I'm thinking cambelt. Annoying thing is I've just sold the car on eBay, the guy was supposed to pick it up this afternoon. Went to start it up this morning, started OK for a second and then cut out, I tried again and then it just sounds like its cranking really fast.
