Guys I need some advice (again!!!) in all the rain we had, not once did I get any water pooling.. but now I do! It looks as if it coming from under the heater. On tuesday I notice splatters of water on my trainers when I got out, and now I have puddles.... Where could it be from? HELP!!!!

If you have antifreeze in your coolant you will normally smell it inside the car if the heater is leaking.

I can't see any colour, but it has a little more consistency than water, I'm not sure what antifreeze smalls like, but there has been a smell ever since I bought it! I though it was just Mini!!!

Water leak are no a quick job any of them, try running your finger around and be hind the heater a inch at a time to see if you finger gets wet. working your way higher. your squirt pipes are connected to your washer jet .

5J is perfect for 'special arches', with 165/60R12 tyres. :)

Thank you Anthony30 x

You can still fit the wider 165/60r12 tyres on 4.5J wheels though, you don't need the extra wheel width, but fits the arches much better. I would recommend yoko A539 165/60r12 tyres based on good reviews.

I've got her home :-).. she's lights up like she's supposed to do, new halogen headlamps even the interior light works :-) and to top it all off...I HAVE HEAT whoop whoop..
But he did say that she's not sounding quite right. She's popping when revved up.
He then asked when I want a alarm or immobiliser putting on her!
It cost me £144 Inc. parts, labour & tax
I'm very pleased that she's home and better....

I knew there was something wrong with my wiring, as my lights wasn't working properly and the dash & interior lights wasn't coming on, I've changed the headlamp that was blown for a halogen (by myself ��) and have to do passenger side... but I've come to notice that I don't have a horn and the wire for the interior lights is not connected at all! Grrrrrrrr wish I knew what to do with it all
