    Failed... Blown wing indicator bulb and a few turns on the offside back brake. Retest tomorrow, got off lightly :-)

    I should say that's all that needs fixing, which is annoying as the brakes were serviced the back ones last week :-). One side was significantly stronger than the other.

    Lyndsey's idea is more fun, but yes two interiors is possible!

£180 ish of Smiffy's Bits in my basket. Should I click request total or just buy the cheaper parts? Tricky

HELP! At the garage. Brake pads changed but they say brake peddle pressure now non existent. They reckon servo seal? Thoughts on this very welcome. http://www.theminiforum.co.uk/forums/topic/287263-not-another-squeaky-wheel-problem/?p=3108269#entry3108269

    Cheers for that. That actually looks like a tidier version of mine, I think in prefer it to bright red.

    Yeah I'd go blue, I like the clean look of black but If it compliments other things then go for blue.

Is there such a thing as a loom for smiths gauges? Something for the lights and to power a volt meter and clock?

    that could work. Not 100% what I am after but would probably do the trick. Cheers Dom

    also having major OCD decisions over the oil pressure gauge. I want a full face as it seems more useful, but it won't be symmetrical with the volt meter: first world problem!

Need Castrol LM grease cartridges. Where's the best place to get them? Preferably 3oz but could just get a new gun to suit.

    Yes, that was my first stop. I've got a 3oz gun at the moment, perhaps thinking a bigger gun might be better to fit the 400g cartridges.

    yes, I asked too. First they said no, then they said yes. It's priced highly if it isn't

    I'm in the process of making my own fibreglass dash if it works I'm going to make one out of carbon, already bought the carbon fibre so home it works as it's expensive
