Well, went to look at a mini today described as 'excellent condition'. Apparently his interpretation of the phrase is inherently different to mine..

How much do people roughly take off when tubbing the rear, 1" from the top?

    I've done it so it's inline with the top of the inner arch if that makes sense as I'm making a new lip and welding that to the body then putting the tubbed piece welded to the bottom of that

    Yeah...I've always seen it done so it's level with the top of the inner arch too.

    Cheers Guys! Makes sense being level with the inner arch :) The sportspack off to the bodyshop in the next few weeks for some panels, so might aswell get it tubbed whilst its there!

Does anybody know if Galleo Gauges still exists? Just rang their number and it went through, to what sounded like a child who had no idea of them??!!

Considering a Rover 25. What sort of mileage does the HG normally go at? Also does a 25 have any other common faults?

    Least you've got a mini! well, a roadworthy one anyway. Dont sell it or stop using it, you'll regret it more than you'll regret the unreliability ;)
