Hey guys i think ive used up all my nines. in the last month ive had the head gasket go and it didnt warp the head. then week before last the flywheel retaining bolt spin loose and jammed the clutch, thank god the flywheel didnt spin on the crank, torqued up the bolt and all was good. then today driving home front left was making a funny noise. pulled over and the hub nut had come off. shat myself !!!! big time. got the miss to run me home where i had a spare nut waked it back on and limped home. just had a look and all seems well, looks like the disc brushed the in side on the caliper but check all the clearence and all is ok.
im really starting to think driving this car everyday is too much. what do you reckon give up the mini as the everyday car? only issue is that would mean id need a new car and that means no turbo project !!!! *surprised*

Shit that was lucky! Don't let it put you off, I had mine as daily driver for quite a while. It does get annoying sometimes when you're constantly having to fix it each evening, but eventually you'll get to a point where there's nothing left to fix! Lol

I guess shitting a brick would make it quite sore...

Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem.
