I don't know if you've got a Haynes Manual but well worth buying it even if its just so you can learn what we're talking about when we speak the Queens English, you'll also be able to understand the correct use of English engine terminology.  Anything to help the colonials out.

One collapsed new rubber spring

Contacted Mini Spares who immediately dispatched a replacement, could have done without it but can't fault their customer service. Wont take me long - I'm well practiced as changing them now

I'm glad you did, my brother and family live south of you in Houston, he's also trying to educate Americans about English humour, correct English spelling and use of grammar . Who knows, next time I'm over we may try and drive up to see you.

How can you say anything about the 'Queens English...', you're a Yorkshireman.... Nowt better than a Lancy accent to confuse plenty, even the folks round here can't understand much that I say.... Might be because most of them are imported, I don't speak good English I was told by a Polish gentleman once LOL

Ayup cocker howz yer belly fer spots, said in a scouse accent - yep I'm an import

 

Stripped the drivers side suspension to get the dodgy doughnut out, looks OK but it's obviously goosed. Waiting on the replacement from Mini Spares now.
