    That’s far too technical, I’ll be using my Runes as usual... it’s a sort of Viking Google!

    Hi all, so you all read my post about the timing chain issue , since then my battery has failed , and to finish me off completely , my power hood has now packed in, suffice to say I have now lost all confidence in the car , completely sick of it , I have traded it in for something other than a mini!!

    Needless to say, no point going on a Mini outing without a Mini so I will not be coming on the Highland tour , im sure you will have a fantastic time and I wish you all well

    Happy Mini motoring everyone

    Sorry to hear, hopefully this hasn't put you off MINI ownership in future.
