I'm stunned by the one piece exhaust I had to take off - it's huuuge...and only held on with 3 rubbers! I've got more on the mini! Awesome quality.

Recently worked on a 320 touring. The flexi in the exhaust had gone. And i know exactly what you mean. This was held on by i think 2 rubber doughnuts and that was it

anyone know what voltage i should be reading from my radio wires? 1990 rover mini :)

-
RossKnight
the radio should just be powered from a switched and live 12v source? can fluctuate obviously..
Apr 03 2014 06:04 PM -
MrElliott
should there still be 12v when the ignition key is at the 0 mark? i just get next to no voltage from any wires when the key is in the 0 position
Apr 03 2014 07:05 PM -
RossKnight
You can get a constant 12v feed even when there's no key in the ignition. A radio will need one of these constant feeds to keep the memory for stations etc. And it will also require a 'switched 12v' so something that only comes on when the key is turned.
