Does anybody know if Galleo Gauges still exists? Just rang their number and it went through, to what sounded like a child who had no idea of them??!!

Considering a Rover 25. What sort of mileage does the HG normally go at? Also does a 25 have any other common faults?

Least you've got a mini! well, a roadworthy one anyway. Dont sell it or stop using it, you'll regret it more than you'll regret the unreliability ;)

I'm getting a bit fed up with my bmi at the mo. its currently 18.1 witch I know is underweight, but if I was just 6 cm shorter it would work out in the healthy 20 range.

I only done it for my height really. Not measured myself in years, so thought why not. Turns out I'm a midget! :)
My weight is better at 22 than it was at 16 ish, so I'm happy for now.

It depends on how carefully you drive. My mum's astra managed about 60K miles before we traded it in. It juddered like hell though towards the end.

As others have said. Its better to change it now and a mini is a lot easier than some cars.

Its not on my Mini, its on my daily car. To replace the clutch will cost more than the value of the car anyway so I will just be putting it on ebay. Just need it in the meantime to travel around looking for a new car
