Had an emergency electrician out today because the consumer unit in the garage went bang. Covered under an emergency policy and they sent out 2 blokes I'd never had dealings with before (or heard of). Found myself bizarrly lying about the Mini and saying it was being sold later today - just don't know whether I can trust anyone these days to know there's a Mini in the garage!! ...Crazy. They seemed nice enough though.

Paranoia ....Never used to think twice about leaving my garage door open during the day. Now I can't shut it quickly enough.

Some really horrible people in the world that don't have an ounce of compassion for animals. I can never understand what enjoyment they get out of it. I only hope someone's punching them around at home.

Those sorts of people shouldn't keep pets. There should be a registry for animal abusers

Thats why you should always wipe the battery on and lag it with waxoyl, Is the box rotted through ?

The previous owner certainly didn't do that! and the top (inside) section was rotten and there were a few places it had gone through and made holes! cut it out and replaced the panel today - will be as good as new after painting it up tomorrow!

A very simple job if you've got the time and inclination. A few bolts, change the gasket and thermostat. Put the housing back on, tighten up the bolts. Bob's your unc.

Just be careful undoing the studs for the housing. Very easily snapped as they corrode and don't like to be moved.

Make sure that the surfaces are scrupulously clean as well. This will ensure a tight and consistent seal between the mating surfaces.

How was it? Was going to go but the lure of a takeaway and bottle of red was too strong!

Haha, fair enough!
It was good! Five minis there but with the promise of more to join, so the club is looking promising! There will definitely be more meet ups and everyone is hoping to do a couple of shows together so pop along to one if you can :) Seems to be the start of a fun and friendly group.

Yeah, if they said it wasn't blue it's their problem in my opinion.

You cant buy happiness... But you can buy a bacon sandwich, and thats pretty much the same thing.
