Please see the official website for details:

NewMINIStuff.com

I will supply the full wiring loom, instructions on how to fit and if needed the original receipt.
Fitting time for me was an hour and a half, and didn't cause me any issues when fitting or removing.
I have no intention on fitting these on my new car at the moment so they are sitting around taking up space.
They have covered approx 2000 miles on my now traded cooper and are in full working condition.

RRP including VAT is £214,
Im selling these at £160 ]]> MINI Parts For Sale Paul870 http://www.totalmini.com/forum/88-mini-parts-sale/29026-sold.html <![CDATA[Gauging Interest - CravenSpeed Dipsticks, Gen1 & Gen2]]> http://www.totalmini.com/forum/112-lohen/29025-gauging-interest-cravenspeed-dipsticks-gen1-gen2.html Thu, 17 May 2012 15:54:54 GMT Hi Guys, I wanted to pop a thread up gauging interest for a group buy of CravenSpeed Dipsticks... Hi Guys,

I wanted to pop a thread up gauging interest for a group buy of CravenSpeed Dipsticks. They're available for both Gen1 and Gen2 and CravenSpeed will happily mix our bulk purchase up with both part numbers, so I have the option to being in 50 or 100 depending on the interest shown. Prices will be dependent on numbers, but given they normally retail at only £66 inc VAT plus postage it wont break the bank!

If you'd like to pop a reply here with your Name & Model of Car, we'll start to compile a list.

Thanks
Emma

(PS if you are registered on multiple forums, please only reply in one place to keep the figure as realistic as possible - thank you!)

Couple of things I noticed, it had a manual roof which I did find a bit difficult to close whilst in the drivers seat and the exhaust popped and banged like crazy, it was so addictive. I knew I would hear it more than in my Hatch my I never imagined it would be that loud.

It is a stainless steel watch and has been my pride and joy since I bought it in 2006, it is complete with warranty card, original leather TAG Heuer case and instructions. I had the battery replaced and it polished up last year. I also had the chronograph recalibrated. It really is in fantastic condition. I am only selling due to an upgrade and the price reflects the p/x price I got from the jewellers.

Price: £475

This is picture is not of the actual watch but gives you an idea of what it looks like, I will get some better pictures when I get home.

Any questions please ask.

Cheers, Darlo

Hi all,

Sorry to start my first post with a problem :frown:

Basically i am on here to see if anyone can help out my partner as he seems to be getting told to many different things! he has also tried another mini forum he uses but gets no replies to this at all.

Basically our mini one 2002 on first startup from cold can have a hesitation in power, you need to be more heavy on the pedal because its as if the car has no power, this lasts seconds and is only for the first minute of driving then that car is perfect!

My partner bought this car for me and has spent so much time on it as it was not really looked after but its absolutely stunning now! and i love it so much!

So far this is what he has been told.

1. stop using cheap fuel? - He doesn't , BP or Shell only!
2. the car is almost 10 years old , its normal and engine is on its way out!!
3. Car just needs a service - last service was in december , oil , filters , sparks changed.
4. its the auto choke flooding the car when cold, its normal?

Now we have also been told to stop using the car for short journeys!! I don't have an option, i only work 1 mile from our home but i am a nursery nurse and if one of the kids should need to be taken to the hospital then i must have the car there! BUT i can't ever in my life ever hearing anyone not being able to buy and use a car the way they want to?

My partner told me last night that he will do another oil and filter change and do this every 6 months to keep the engine good, he is using castrol edge 0w-30


Honestly apart from this the car is perfect!!

Hope someone can help us.

I have a 2010 jcw and love it to bits. I would like to give it a couple of tasteful mods though and could use some advice as I'm completely green.
I really would like to lower it a bit and spruce the handling slightly. What sort of springs should I be looking at ( as well as costs) and where near York would be best to get it done. Also I'm going to buy a strut brace from our friends at Lohen. Does it make a considerable difference on the jcw?
Anymore suggestions for 'tasteful' mods would be appreciated.
Happy driving
