    Tell who might be worth a shot, UPullit at Inverkeithing, they had a smashed R53 in a wee while ago. When I went to it the engine and box were out but they might do this as a matter of course with their "premier" car parts and it might be on the shelf. IIRC it was fairly low mileage 60/70k. They might even give a guarantee with their engines.

    I have been in there last month also as needed a boot handle asked about the engine as a bit of a backup plan but it was already gone.

    The daft bird only charged me £3!

    I've got a spare dark silver handle if you need it, but the lights are knacked in it, although I did buy new lenses and bulbs for it.

    Thanks but picked one up and fitted led number plate lights sealed it up to stop water getting into them again.

    Quick update on the car went into see it and the engine was in some state Douglas and the guys still can't get over how it was still running and I can't also told them to go a head with the repair work so looks like the mini world is stuck with me for a good while as not going to sell the car and get my money's worth outta it and enjoyment.

    Already been looking at uprated parts for the car like
    AP RACING 4 port brake kit
    Airtech intercooler
    ROTA GRID WHEELS in black
    Miltec exhaust
    Janspeed downpipe
    Reduced super charger pulley
    Remapped to link all this up also
    Just to name a few things
