Put all the effort in replacing the head gasket and it leaks from the front of the block now.

    Did you torque up the bolts from the inside then move out?

    i shall make a list... ;)

    1.Battery is draining even though the alternator is charging fine
    2.struggling to start and doesn't start nicely
    3.engine isn't running very smooth at the moment
    4.blow in the manifold and the exhaust bracket has sheared

    oh and
    5. something is up with the gearbox, sometimes it gets stuck in reverse (when you reverse obviously) and the cross over from 1 & 2 to 3 & 4 is really stiff and sometimes gets stuck, very strange

advice to all: buy an RX8 - most fun ever - except mini, yeah it empties the bank for petrol but worth it

    Rx7 will be bought one day.

    Up the boost, make lots of horsepower and wait for it to blow up XD. No way around it they're not hugely reliable unless you get a Bridgeport engine!! They're good

    Make sure you keep the oil topped up! They drink it faster than petrol!

My hand writting lets me down again. Got back to find my mum had underlined in red, an item on my to do list that is written on my white board. It said 'phone Guy about seats'. Instead it looked like 'phone Gay about sex'. Awkward...

    You 'will' need them in the future if you intend to keep a classic car. Worth getting a better pair as the cheapo cheap ones are useless!!! You could always go in to a halfrauds and have a look at them though?

Ok - So i spotted a lovely bright yellow mini in Birmingham (at Mcdonalds) on Saturday - it looked to be rally prepped and was beautiful. I pipped (in my little violet mini)... Anyone's on here?!
