i have the same limited edition sprite as you but in red and i wondered if you minded me asking how much you bought it for or if you knew how much it was worth

Awaiting an angry e-mail or phone call from one of the girls back at head office after I left a paper cup upside down on her desk with a note saying "do not move unless you are prepared to kill it".

Once she has turned it over and found nothing under it I need to do it again but this time actually put a spider under it. MWHAHAHA

Should the inline fuel filter have air in it? There seems to be no pressure in it past the fuel pump. :|

Love driving the mini to work... Start my day with a smile. And at least I know where it is and that it's dry and safe!

Same. I always park next to another mini but still haven't found out who owns it. We just always look for each other to park next to lol. I don't take him when on nights though

Got to drive my Mini for the first time since passing my test and the first time on public roads, felt awesome finally driving it. Only bad thing was the wheel fell off so got a but of a shock whilst driving first bad experience lol! Still happy I drove it though :D

Haha was very eventful well we found out that the wheel wasn't right as when on it wobbled so put spare on and it didn't move. Yeah luckily the way the wheel fell into the arch it stopped any damage, we think the only damage it's done is knocked the tracking out slightly but I'm getting new wheels on her soon so will get that done at same time. And yeah felt amazing getting to finally drive it :D

Good luck chap. Moggyton is right, be confident, don't blag anything (if there's something you don't know, just say so) and be enthusiastic.

Only me could set the satnav to Skipton Building Society, rather than Skipton. A quick 30ish mile detour.. haha

I'm not sure i'd make it too a rolling road. It dies every 200 meters.. ):

Can't you make the mixture leaner?
Apr 06 2014 02:49 PM -
Artful Dodger
Making the mixture leaner just like that can be disastrous!! Make sure it's sound and not broken and tow it to someone who can set it all up properly:)

From experience I would avoid a mondeo mk3 of any type. They are cheap for a reason. Shocks will fail, springs will break, they drink fuel, the rear brakes will seize, catalytic converters crumble to bits, the electics go nuts on them (central locking mainly) and if you are skinny and under about 6' the driver's seat is terrible.
