Sat in traffic this morning. Not moving. Looked at the clock on the dash and, as I did, the card with the digits on inside just sort of flopped forward. Now the hands are scraping it around. So annoying. Guessing I'm going to have to take the whole dash off just to sort this stupid, irritating thing!!

Can't believe how much I've just spent on a small piece of bent metal and a bit of rubber. Mini parts never used to be this expensive!

    what have you bought then?

    A rear fog lamp bracket (£8.50) and one side sill trim (£18.50). Have been told to buy genuine on that because the aftermarkets can be poor. But, still, £18.50, and that's just one side!! (grumble, grumble).
