And.... I can see nothing wrong apart from the cage on the release bearing has worn away at the plunger witch would account for the rattle

I would get that sorted before the MOT. It's technically a fail, due to the battery being insecure, and unsafe, IMO.

Unsecure?? Cable ties ;) also use an 096 battery (you may need to cut the bottom clamps off so it fiuts the box)

It didn't have one at the last mot and it passed :) I was going to get a 096 I think it it is from eurocarparts

Just checked my bank and I think the company I've just left has done me out of a couple of hundred squid! :(

Exactly, will have to wait until my last wage slip comes through the post to check before I ring and give them sh*t .

My mate has 4.5" reverse rims on 165s on his mk1 cooper and they look sick!

Not a clue mate, I like the way my 12"s sit with the arches, flows nicely but so tempted on banded

It's gutting when that happens. even worse if it is something that is hard to find. that happened to me recently on something i had been searching for, for years

depends on cable run and consumer unit position, but generally speaking ,, yes
Feb 26 2015 11:08 PM

Consumer unit is on the wall the otherside of where I'll be putting the shed haha. Cable run will literally need to be about a meter... Need to work out which type of breaker I'll need and cable size? It's for a compressor only rated for 30A plugs

djdanmk

4mm or 6mm cable and a 32A MCB.

that the burning smell after driving and slippage in 3rd turns out the clutch needs replacing
Feb 26 2015 10:19 PM

Miniminx71

There you go. Makes no odds then really. Might as well have a look :-)
Feb 26 2015 10:20 PM

1984mini25

but, even if it was a number of years ago the clutch plate has only done just over 20k and I can't see that all being down to having to do hill starts all the time

rare beast these days. Did it have the pressure fed primary gear and coil spring clutch?

Put my name down for the craic with the lads at camp, who have now bailed out haha. Might see if I can fundraise a bit of money for H4H or something
Feb 26 2015 09:20 PM

Steve220

Its awesome. I've done it every year and will continue to! Do it for RAFBF if you can, H4H gets millions each year and lesser charities still need funding.

Decided to go for Scotties Little Soldiers, they're based about 20 miles up the road from me

Thanks, its only a temp thing. Cant afford the brake conversion kit and new wheels at the same time!

On what vehicle! I can buy 4 tyres for that price!
Feb 26 2015 06:57 PM

kingbenvolio

The mini! Yoko A048-R; too ocd to have mismatched tyres! Plus others would be a slightly different size.
