Given the timing of the engine running badly and the brakes going, isn't it just an issue with the servo / servo hose? ie servo hose splits or falls off, huge vacuum leak results causing rough running? Was the pedal hard to press with little braking, or did it go to the floor?

Yeah been waiting to use it daily but due to where i used to work couldn't trust parking it outside as people didn't take care when getting in and out of car. But now at my new place its a private car park so nice and safe and people not coming and going all day so use it on my daily commute and weekends too :) No point in having something that works covered up on my drive!

My sis used to work for Nationwide here in Swindon. Loved it. Be prepared to sell, sell, sell. Even if someone phones up for a bank balance, you've got to try and flog them a NISA :-)

Unfortunately she failed, but nothing major! Failed on excessive wheel bearing movement ( knew about thia wasnt sure if advisorie or fail, i know the tester so he is doing this cheap for me) emissions (whih tester has sorted) indicator on speedo doesn't work, brake hose inadequatly clipped and one subframe clip had popped out hole oh and number plate light didn't work. So not bad really

Omg thank god for that! I seen it and instantly fell in love, but could only find the paddy hopkirk steering wheel and thought I'd got mixed up with the anniversary. Be wonderful if you can find who done them :D

OK, looks like I might have got it mixed up with the Paddy Hopkirk Monte Carlo 50th Anniversary MotoLita wheel that MiniSport are doing - at least that was the one I'd seen in MiniWorld. What did the one you saw look like?
Aug 28 2014 09:20 AM

Vicky1000

Yeah I think it is that one with the mini in the middle, there was only 50 made and they now only all a plain steering wheel with his signature on. So think I've missed out on that one as now can't find one anywhere :(
