Mike Oxbiggar Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 To answer CageyH..... The mini was in a local garage for five weeks!!!!!!!!!!! "They couldn't find what was wrong" but they didn't charge for the "several hours" they spent trying to trace the fault. Having read loads on t'web I then stripped and cleaned the carburretor and replaced the inlet/exhaust gasket. (By now allelectrics had been changed too!) And the little fceker still wouldn't go up hill or run under any load *mad* *mad* Took it to another garage - four hours later they had reset all the carb settings and hey-presto - sweet as a nut.... Ten miles later the front left wheel bearing went - that's this weekend's project! ☹️ Bloody cars! I should add that I've lost two-stone since that car first started playing-up! (Just to ensure that the fault wasn't down to my substantial mass!!!)

The Village Idiot Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 I'm amazed that it is as much as half, after all you are such a 'beast' with the white fluffy things that you must have a stallions 'manhood' that weighs more than any other part of your body ❗ On the other hand, you could be daydreaming and the only way to lose that much weight was if you had liposuction on your (alledgedly) fat gut Dicks PS nice to have you back Ash - them old parking meters been keeping you busy 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strongy Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I've told you before Bailey. How can you expect that poor little car to put up with all the abuse you give it when you go dogging. It's no wonder the whole suspension isn't f&cked let alone just a bearing, and constantly flashing your lights and switching your interior light on and off is asking for electrical gremlins.
