Make sure you go over it with a magnifying glass, just in case :) Glad they are fixing their mistakes though.


You bet I did when I was there, made them polish it too, to make sure there was no scratches, etc.

Ok, so been thinking a lot today, and I'm getting more and more excited knowing my mini is coming back to stay on Friday, and all I want to do is drive it, but its not totally road worthy or reliable at the moment. So what I was thinking was, do the few things that need doing to make it reliable and road worthy, plus some extras, so I can get it on the road a lot quicker than waiting for the engine, etc. What do you all think?

The Fiat is a legendary car, although it does have some starting problems sometimes lol, but cruises at 80 fine, even if it is a 900cc engine lol

I really don't know mate, apparantly it is meant to be done, but he hasn't phoned me, and really I don't have the money to pay the rest off at the moment.
