after a couple of hours with the multimeter, soldering iron, solder, insulating tape, wire & crimp terminals I have a repaired dash PCB (poxy circuit board) and functioning dash lights! Woo!

I had a bit of a poke about in my eye with a sewing needle. Doc at A&E said I did a good job and got the metal out myself. Anyone want me to do theirs?

If you want to get into engineering then you need an engineering based hobby. Restore a car, race RC cars, fly RC planes/helicopters, volunteer on a preserved railway, etc.
None of the jobs I was called for an interview to was I ever asked an academic question. They were all about my hobbies. I did apply for around 400 jobs though before I got mine. Just keep at it

My mini isn't starting and hasn't done for 10 years. It isn't sparking, I have put on a new set of HT leads and a kind lead and have checked ignition coil and checked points for a spark. All this is working. What is the next step I should take to trouble shooting this problem?

6 years of TMF. Crikey where has the time gone? Thanks guys, it always has and always will be the best forum in the world. One that has shaped my life in so many ways. Heres to the many great friends I have made and the amazing times had. It's given me the one thing that I'm certain will remain in my life forever, and my little piece of perfection that I adore and cherish with my whole heart - Simon. <3 <3 Genuinely, TMF is more than a forum, more than Minis. It's happiness.

I second this. TMF has always helped me in my low moments and always made me think that it will all be ok again, and generally it has :) thank you TMF :)

I gave my eye a good scrape with my finger nail last night. Hopefully I have got it. Last time I waited 2 weeks until the rust took hold and I went blind. I will give it a few days and see what happens. Thanks for the medical advice Charlie. :)

Had a volvo tailgate me for 10 miles on way home from Newquay just for him to pass me and honk his horn and thumbs up and shout great car mate. Brilliant!
