Sounds like @Mississippi Bullfrog has got his work life balance about right then! Cheers Ian

You are absolutely correct an easy preventative measure probably not allowed due to cost (company run by accountants not engineers). I didn`t mean to alarm the OP but it is a problem not enough people are aware of until problems occur ! I sincerely hope it doesn`t become an issue. Cheers Ian

Eek ! Wet belt engine. Be very careful and try to maintain perfect warranty record, if it does go wrong you want to be in a position to demand complete replacement engine. These things are a lottery it may equally last the distance but worth being cautious. The Mini all day long for me. Good luck. Cheers Ian

Hi I would also check breakers for a similar vintage GT550 as loads of these ended up on the despatch/rental circuit and there should still be plenty of parts kicking about. Cheers Ian

Totally agree with you regarding this place. Last time we tried it we got to understand where all the leather workers from the local shoe industry had gone. Beef was harder wearing than my old brogues and the clientele and staff seemed to represent the shallow end of the gene pool. We are gone never to return, Their loss is the Beeswing`s gain an establishment where the chef seems to think he can overfeed everyone who orders from his kitchen. Cheers Ian

I do normally go but this year is clashes with a ZRX owners meet at Biberry and a dash down the Fosse way is always good fun. Cheers Ian

Thanks guys! Sorry for delay in replying I was allowed to take myself off fishing and just got back. My kind of birthday. Cheers Ian

Have a look at the front straps, they cross over so cuff on laft bar goes to right hand pegging point and ratchets down Best system I have ever found and can be done on your own with practise, rear strap pretty much ornamental just to prevent bounce on our 3rd world roads. Cheers Ian

It's actually bonkers fun ! Cheers Ian

Abba stand ! Best thing I ever bought . Cheers Ian

I do know that I bought some quite cheaply on the bay a couple of years back to protect the cill on my cars boot area. Try searching for "Helicopter tape" it`s like a clear heavy duty cling film with an adhesive backing. Cheers Ian

No I think he made perfume and conical bras. Cheers Ian
