Sounds about right. I still maintain my mini was the best car I have had in snow.

What did you do before you left it sitting? Did you disconnect the battery?

Lucky you. Mine always starts up but is always under shelter - last night was her first night outside in a while and a rather frosty one haha

Had to push my 2 tonne Westminster down the road to get it started after all the snow, that was a ballache

Oh yeah then that is not bad then. Would be worth checking, especially if it isn't too expensive and there may be an improvement in the performance.

Well it had a slight valve leak anyway as smoked on start up, so going to be changing the valves while its off. Might look on ebay or around for a better head to put on it. The tax runs out Wednesday aswell so might just sorn it for the time being

Vinay-RS

had to google what sorn meant, lol

Wiring.... Let me think.... Errr.... Think I have some washing to do that is very very urgent ;-)

I do not envy you... I can handle anything on a mini apart from wiring

Haha in that case the floor needs welding too and oversills coming off and any damage repairing ;) haha I shan't be doing the work - not nearly smart enough haha a local garage will end up doing it.

O crap.... What I have I got myself into now!

Prepare for the worst when the over sills come off..... The sound only mechanics makes when he is about to pull your pants down... Pouting there lips and sucking air in while cleaning there hands on a old rag (remove the rag and they are just rubbing there hands together)

I assume you are on about a New Mini as the classics didn't have a spoiler from the factory. If if is a new mini then try the MINI2 forum. They will probably be able to give you better advise.
