yeah glad i missed the towbar;), would have been happier with the curb and the bush tho:) also it was a range rover i got them mixed at least i know why all the mums use them for the school runs round hear...they dont bend easy:cool: just been looking through the faq on how to remove the front bumper clicky because i cant unscrew the plastic screws that dont unscrew:blink: but anyway anyone have the partnumber to hand as to what needs to be bought?

yeah smally pics would help:p CoolsBlue- might have to take you up on that one where you located? the front chassis rails where do they run? accross the 'floor'? the lowest bump was about badge hight if so i might be in the clear (on that at least) the paint damage on the lower of the bumper was there when i bought it and looks like its from a large stone + weather:sly: was only this morning i was looking over some pictures to see whitch bonnet and bumper combo i like, just my luck i phooking need them now:rolleyes:

just gone up tha arse of a fat landrover, well gutted:( drove fine the rest of the way home, just got home and gave it te once over, and at at first glance driver side wing, bonnet and possibly a new bumper maybe an air filter box, but after having a better look it seems to have a bent slam pannel:( ill be back with picture in a bit

got mine from paul^^ top guy, great price, received next day, missfire cured!

just thought, when on a test drive you wanna be on the gas then break and gas again, in say 2nd gear if it pulls you around from the rear walk away at best it could be a well rusted rear subby at worst the subby could be no-longer mounted:Pling:, *if its all over the road from the front it will be the ball joints not big job, *if it pull to one side breaks (front) *and wiggle the stearing wheel when your not moving not violently, there should not be any loud creaks and not loads of body flex(there will be a slight amount) or the front subby mounts are on there way out/or gone:) and DONT use sinthetic oil:d if u still want a gear box:eyebrows: get your self down to local wh smiths and but a mini mag/ or mini world that will be the best place to look as it will (more likely) have been looked after good look pal:cool:

hi mate ... good choice i have an ex drag mini aswell as the supe(ex because i melted the pistons ) i have an uber knowledge:sly: of there mechanics and i am local (ish) to you so if you need a hand when searching i would recomend 84-87 (iirc) because this is when it was most revised mechanicaly before rover, rover used bad quality metals not resulting in bad mini's but it made the rusting worse (if thats possible:blink:) an average 86 mini will have loads less rust than a 1994+ mini;) but on the other hand spi/mpi (fuel injected mini's) are good mini's mechanicaly (still the rover body tho) no where near as tuneable about 100bhp max on stock fueling. if you get a totaly standard mini (doubt it) there are very simple mods: manifold, filter bits and bobs like that known as a stage 1 this brings about 20%hp gains (proven) over standard and these are bellow the £150 mark parts as you say are easy and cheap to work with but the body work need doing its going in to the hundreds ££££ (if they look as if need a bit, they will need alot more:rolleyes:)) any way i must stop waffling because i could talk about em all day:d p.s if ur looking for shows my faves : *drag wars mini vs beetle, about easter(york usualy) *MITP (the biggest) usaly 3rd sunday august(allover but mainly oxfordshire at the pod last year hense the melted-nes of mine ) *drag wars may 4/5 ish sunday closest usualy, this is where all the biggies go and all the most powerful a seriesed ,mini's go Awsome!! anyways:) btw at £800 your mate got a rite bargan

i noticed this this morning aswell:d how cool is that, was just going to make a post about it, havent tested out my theory yet(covering the shroom) i will be playing tomorrow:)

spot on pall, if you want to drive this kind of car you have to put them kind of £££ in to the tank:cool:, i am not a fan of the: well if it drinks too much shut up and get a smaller car, comment as i have been told this many times (other half:d) but if your doo-ing 2X more fuel than the supra should why ignore it:blink: lol btw i get 12-15mpg to+from work, and about 35 on m-way to hull twice a month:d 02 sensor next month and maybe a carbon fibre right foot

Hi mate and welcome 60k (or 5 year i read also) altho i would change it if there is no prouf of it being done in the last yar depends on your mood, but about *cough*24-26*cough* but great tip dont watch it the more you watch the fuel level the faster it goes down:d i recon 70l not 100% guessing by howmuch fuel goes in;) you will have no problem in hight but its wide and long sorry cant help you on the last one

yes people are that sad:blink:

looks like the first guy is trying to hit the cars:D

lol i did a search:innocent: cheers:cool: you would be suprised about what you find when you search

:drool:the dials in pic 1 look mint (seen em b4 ebay), i have noticed the fuel/ water temp dials are like a mirror image to mine:(, i presume they are us-spec? does any one know where i can get these dial for my j-spec? cheers, just of to over the pics once more:D

sound abit like what clarkson would write:D

had the demo for about a month now (pc)...dont rate it much:sly: but i said the same about the others:d i will endup playing it every day lol waiting untill after crimbo to buy it, got christmas pressies to buy:(

sounds like the bov could be on its way out mate...to test it just take it off and if you can blow through it, it needs replacing. I just had to do mine got a big shiny one on now:D

ok cheers, pall just wanted to check mine should actualy have heated mirrors before i look for a dodgy fuse or relay:)

what year did they start putting the heating elements in? mines a 94 j-spec tt, my mirrors dont fold and they dont heat either lol:(

every thing about the seller says scam...like i have payed cash on collection and also picked up the cash on the delivery(was local) but never felt the urge to state this in the feed back??.. Payment by direct bank transfer, cheque/postal order = virtualy untrackable and all the feed back goes out the way to point out it was as or better condition as described:blink: and what is it with all the private feedback... .. .. ..avoid:d just my opinion

lol i think thats just made my day
