My dad taught me the very basics on how an engine worked with a lego technic dune buggy when I was about 4 years old. The rest I learnt from RC planes and a haynes manual.

New battery ordered, fingers crossed this solves the problem. Although now ive gotta find this water leak. *sigh* driving my mini seems to get further and further away :(

You can always ask in the technical section if you want some help, we've all been there.

Yeah pretty gutted on the way its going at the moment. Its hard to ask in technical section as not sure what id be asking and thinks its cause the gasket on water pump broke and thought that instant gasket would help but don't think it has, so gotta re strip the alternator, radiator ect to have a look lol. Just want to drive it now ive got my license :(

Yes they do, and in ROI. They are a shoe repair chain and cut keys. Or if you know the key number you can order one factory made from a Mini specialist.
