I need a rocker cover gasket reasonably quickly.

I have one I bought at a show, but it appears to be a pattern part and is too small *indifferent*

Local rover dealer doesn't stock mini parts any more. Could order one but delivery is "not very good on mini parts these days" *oh well*

Local (ish) mini specialist has one, and my wife is nearby and could call to collect it, but this specialist is vitriolic about a certain other car (which my wife happens to be driving), to the point where my wife will not go there for fear of being abused.

So I'll have to wait until the weekend or mail order it and pay postage

How ridiculous is that *angry*

Rant over

Soak it hot water for 30mins sometimes they will expand a bit as the cork will absorb the mosture

I'm 35 miles away and the new one I have isn't made of cork (silly me for buying it really)

:(

Just having a moan, I'm sure I'll come up with something

Thought it was only me that starts off threads with "grrr" and "rant".........

If I wasn't working horrendous hours I could have gone to the mini shop we don't talk about and bought you a gasket.

Or better still lent your mrs one of my fleet then she wouldn't get abused when she got there...........
