:O Why?

Several reasons, but with me being at college it hardly ever gets used now which is a massive shame :( So it makes sense for me to sell it on and use the money for more sensible things

What rubber exhaust hangers are good for Maniflow back boxes? Mine hangs a little low!!

Maniflow and RC40 systems are generally recommended as the best systems. I have an RC40 stainless system on my mpi and I am very pleased with it ( Great noise )

I have a de cat pipe for mine, I have never fitted it though Midas MK1 as reading articles on here suggested to me that the system was very efficient and made no difference removing....I may try now after your comment

Decat made mine more responsive, probably marginal in terms of power, but feels better. The cat flange connection with the backbox is pretty a poor design on the mpi in terms of sealing, just something to check when fitting.

Just tried to jump start the Mini, as the battery was totally flat after not being used for 2 months.... Anyway, I hook it up to my Dads big diesel saloon, plenty of power I thought. Got his engine running, then got into the Mini. All lights came on as expected, reading 13 volts on the gauge. I turn the key, and it hardly turns the engine over, barely anything. So I tried my Clio, which has a new battery, same again... Why? Any advice?

If your original battery is completely knackered ie internally shorted, then it can short the other battery trying to start it, remove the mini battery earth and try starting it without your original battery connected

Only very cheap common jump leads, they did get rather hot at the crocodile clip ends during use however? The battery finished charging today, will give it a shot tomorrow and let you guys know :)
