    Yes! Master Cylinder has a slight leak, Heater broke, Mini keeps pooping out of second, Mini developed a flat spot in the revs and my phone broke! Only good outcome was going cinema yesterday, even then the film was rubbish but my friend liked it, she also liked the mini :L

    Oh, she ;) Well maybe it'll get better eh? Every mini's a son of a ×#*?% every once in a while lol. Work through the problems methodically, starting with the brakes, engine, box, heater, then phone. lol.

    I've got an 096 size one. Probably overkill but it was the same price, so why not? Get it from Euro Car Parts and you get 25% off :) Mines got 5 yr warranty too.

    Don't use Halfords batteries though, they're crap.

    I've got a pug one, it's not too bad price wise if you get it from Halfords with a trade card.
