Best insurance company for 106 1.1 @ 22 years old. I've got 2 years no-claims, and will get my third in June, on the mini? No black boxes though. :)

+! on named drivers, i've been getting quotes for when I pass (17, 0 NCB, £1500+!) and putting parents on can make as little difference as £10 but up to £100 maybe more. Just play with the options till you get the cheapest xD

Try diamond with a lady friend or mother on - was cheapest for my mate with me on. Or elephant or admiral - they're the same company

Anyone know where can i find the original sound insulation that came behind the dash/bulkhead? Mine had the open shelf and there is a thick padded insulation which i would like to replace!

I need to find me a cheap tatty Mini for Riv Run. I think I want to drive one rather than a boring daily.

Quick question: Is this suitable for splitting the ball joints on top and bottom of the front hubs? http://www.punkylamb.com/ct1578.aspx

RooBoonix
I've bought replacement ball joint sets from Minispares, for both hubs and I'm just buying the splitter now.

I would put the nut on even if you are replacing the ball joints as it will give you a better surface area to push against and there will be less chance of it slipping off. Personally i like the fork type splitters and a BIG hammer

I've ordered the cup type, there seems to be alot of differing opinions on splitters... IF it works, it works, if not i'll order another one :P

When youths walk past your house 'rapping' to music on their phones and then shout wildly 'sick mini' when they spy your car... I dot quite know what to do with that haha.

National apprenticeships website. Also take you CV to local businesses. I was unemployed, working part-time a couple of months ago, so don't give up, there's a job just around the corner, waiting for you. :)
