Washed mine yesterday :p Bought more bits on eBay :D Next weekend it'll be time to repair the front sunroof so I can actually park her in the rain :eek:

A fluid change can help noisy ACE systems.... as per the above, there a number of threads on it.

First thing you can do is go here (ASKMID) and check to see if it's on the motor insurers database. Next is DVLA licencing to see if its taxed.... if its insured and taxed, she's on the road. Unfortunately 'Spotted' or 'Why is my' forums rarely work... I'm an admin over a MINI owners forum...

Yes Tata own Jaguar and LandRover. It's a good deal for both... Tata gets the brand cachet associated with the JLR brands, and also gives good export opportunites to the far east and India through Tatas existing network. JLR get the benefit of being owned by a company who actually has money...
