Turbo Mini Forums

Its my mini clubs treasure hunt/club run/bbq this weekend and due to the nature n other friends minis i thought id take my ither lil mini which was just my daily hack.. all in red primer, reliable strong 998, looks horrid but all solid underneath.. needed a mot n my normal guy is shut and on holiday :( so another friend works for a vauxhall dealership and is mini friendly so booked it in there.. on way to test this mornin the tyre pops off the rim! Send the mrs back to get a spare and a puddle goes past my feet! Looks like comin from bypass hose but then stops?? So i swap over wheels n warn my mate about the leak? He then says he hopes his boss aint in bad mood n makes someone else do it!!! Great! So either im gonna get a call sayin he cant do it, its passed or someone else done it and the refusal is still printing off!?!?! Oh god sometimes i hate cars! Rant over....

Well..... i worried all day.. got a call just before closing time from the 'leanient' friend sayin he didnt mot it someone else at the dealership did :/ but it passed! So off i went n bombed it back with its leak n rung my mate at local car parts n told him to get new water pump n bypass hose for the morning! Never would of guessed my lil ratty hack mini would of passed at a dealership test station! Definitely looked funny n got few looks on there forecourt! Haha DONT YOU JUST LOVE CARS?!....

Good result!
