On the way home from the yard I came acros a stranded mini MPI. The owner said it had a fuel problem that had just been sorted but the car had just cut out.

On looking under the car there was a massive puddle of fuel. I towed him to my friends workshop where a quick snoop around found that the seals on the fuel fitting that clips into the fuel rail behind No. 3 cylinder were shredded.

Anyone know where I can get these seals from I keep getting told its a main dealer part only. I dont know this chap but I want to do my best to sort him out.

Well he phoned back saying the bloke held his hands up saying Mini's were not his thing and offered a full refund.

Then asked if I could carry out a repair.

Well I'll give it another half hour then im out the door if I dont get the bits today its not going to happen Until next weekend.
