One thing to mind that they told us at the Tec night ,depending on the year ,when fitting a new battery it will need coding to the car so it knows it's been changed

Great news.
...to Infinity and beyond !!!
Thanks folks! Took car out for a wee run and all seemed well - brakes grumbled a bit as they've not been used for ages. Had a low battery warning when I came back, but it has since disappeared after I went to visit Dad later in the afternoon. Have Service Indicators for next month tho - Brake Fluid and 'Roadworthiness', and also an Engine Oil one for May, so I'm going to book it in next week to get these all done, as the it's been neglected for a while and it would seem like a good idea to give it the once-over.
The car went as well as I remembered, which is pretty good considering it hasn't moved for 4 months. sounding nice too (if I say so myself!). I took a couple of photos with its new stickers, but my old laptop isn't letting me upload them for some reason. Anyway, hopefully it'll start OK tomorrow, but if not, I still have Craig's 'Magic Charger'. If I can get the service stuff done next week, that should sort it out for the Spring! Dad should be getting out of hospital fairly soon, so I might not get much opportunity for joyriding, at least initially, but the car will be up for it when we get things sorted out at home.
Thanks for all your input - NMS never leaves a wounded man in the field!

Cheers Craig, like your good self, the charger was a great help. Peace of mind is a handy tool to have in the garage!
It was pretty good to get back in the MINI today, even if the old 'mojo' isn't quite there yet, and the roads were well greasy, I gave it a few revs and raised a smile with some pops and gurgles on the over-run, and it's still fun to see who looks round when the Alta does its 'Tsssshhhhhhh' thingThe exhaust and intake setup is just loud enough to be interesting without attracting the wrong sort of attention!
The Adventure isn't over yet!
