i did mine with it , was more of just a light covering to add ( i drove in a field that was straw so scratched some off ) anyways after i sprayed it on and took it up the garage a week later , it was on an advisory 'excessive under-seal' :L

advisory 'excessive under-seal'???????? i had no idea that was even a MOT thing

It's for arse covering to say they can't see the state of the floor underneath, so can't say for sure it's solid.

I did mine just after the Mot, worst job ever.

Should be interesting this year.

steering column lowering bracket better driving position :) £3

Personally I don't like them. They mean that you constantly bang your knee on the underside of the steering column and if you have a full length dash they make the steering wheel obscure your view of the Speedo, besides I love the standard "sit up and beg" driving position of the classic mini, it's part of it's charm.... So my drop bracket had to go!!

I know it's over a tenner but if you've just bought a mini, unless you know what the previous owner put in, it's probably a good idea to get some 20w50 in. It's cheap but at least it's comma, and because of the weight amazon ship it via courier even if you click the free p&p option!

it's probably more like £15 once you've bought an oil filter.
Go to Wilko,s and get the same 4.55litres of 20/50 (Shell make it and Comma bottle it for Wilko,s under there own label) for £8.50
