Just fitted a C-ARA4445 RADIATOR SENDER SWITCH UNIT it's as tight as it can go. But as a small drip anyone else had this problem and did you use silicone to seal it?

Anyone know how easy it is to remove a windscreen without damaging the rubber. Its only a few years old and is in good condition so I dont really want to waste it by chopping it with a stanley.

I've done it. All you need to do is take that centre trim out. Have someone on the inside, one on the outside. The person on the inside pushes with their palm in a top corner (pretty hard) and it will give. Done this a handful amount of times and had no issues.

I did it aswell, i did it on my own, the hard part for me was putting the centre trim back in.

I had that a few times last year - a quick cover up with a shopping bag and an elastic band and it was good to go (but I wasnt driving any big distance). There is also something on a thread on here about using a rubber washing up glove with the ends of the fingers cut out and put over the dizzy.

hahaha brilliant. thanks for the advise. i need a quick fix for the L2B run incase i cant get to the minispares shop in time

I only ever did about 30 miles like that though, just keep the bag well clear of getting stuck to a hot engine or coming loose, wouldnt want to be responsible for any damage, really is a short fix.

My Mini has decided that the driveway needs coolant more than it does and kindly donated it all. How very caring of it....

Haha I'm actually glad it's gone now, rather than on L2B! Time to refresh the lot.

Why do some brain dead idiots instantly assume and start taking the piss when a cars bonnet is open. Coming out with crap like “Are you trying to get the engine to work again?" or “your car must be really crap/unreliable”.

I get it from people at work when I check my car over in the car park. There is a reason I do it at work. Their car park is flat where as my drive is on a slope.
