I hadn't spotted that.

Update. For some reason I've not been able to log in on here for nearly 3 months - I type my post and get logged out straight away. Kia's steering pipe was at fault. Rusted completely through. 854041D8-2E91-4ED9-B6CB-818282A8B1AF.jpeg.53c1c8b085ea55984d2dadaaaa704e5e.jpeg New one was well over £200 ...

The mini has now gone. Stepdaughter bow has a Kia Rio, which after 2 weeks shat it’s power steering high pressure hose. Repair section being made by Pirtek in Pompey, which I’m sure will be just as fun to fit as it was to remove. Also have another Citroen C2, picked it up locally for £800. Needs the...

Identical part number taken from an identical age and model R50 diesel, but according to the wise they need at least connecting to a diagnostics to bleed out the air.

ABS pump has shat itself on the Mini, so I've got to get that changed. And conveniently it needs programming into the car. FFS

Saab the second had some remedial work done at the weekend, mainly because water was gathering in the heater fan blower and being blown into the passenger front footwell. Removed the scuttle trims and was quite please to find the plenums dry, but with a small amount of debris on them. However the ca...

I’ve been trying to update this thread for over a week but for some reason when I logged in and opened it I kept getting logged out. Mini passed MoT last week with help from Stanky of the beige. The original test on 24th October failed on one massively worn rear brake pad and a rusted brake line. Th...
