Well thanks for the responses folks, looks like there is a lot to consider:S . My AA man highly recommends this guy so will have a chat with him. If say he guaranteed his work for a year would that would be enough if he did it wrong? Also if anyone does think of any little jobs to do whilst...

The 300-320 was for the job lot including parts appart from the water pump, which I thought was very good.

I guess that's where the cat D damage occurred

If only I could afford better cams:(

Thanks:D will print that out and show him. When reading around on here I got the impression you might as well change it whilst your there for the price?

My neighbour is an AA man and recommended a cambelt specialist he knows just down the road in Milnsbrige. As I know the AA man he will do me all the parts at cost and got quoted around £300-320 or something about 6 months ago (without the water pump though). He's also the type (so AA man says)...

Cheers for the responses. So for the tool I just need to make sure he has a camshaft locking tool that will fit a k4m?

Right I'll be booking my car in for a cambelt in the next week or two. So far I'm thinking I will need the cambelt kit, aux belt and water pump changing. Is there anything else I might as well get done at the same time for little extra labour? Engine mounts, gearbox oil.......... Also is...

My Powerflow isn't much louder than standard, just sounds better.

Does the cup spoiler actually give them better down force on the 1*2 or is that just for looks?

Crazy, much more money than sense:S :S

That sounds very cheap, where from please?

Must admit the rear can feel very light/twitchy under heavy high speed breaking. Other than that mine is fine at speed.

Lol at the dancing at the end of the first vid.

:lolup:

Where did you get them for that price, online?

Cheers, one step closer to being as light as a cup then:D

Thats fine then. What about the sponge thing, is it worth getting another or just leave it without? Cheers

I have just found a piece of sponge (wrapped in black plastic) hanging from the under tray. I'm guessing from reading this it has come from the car and not picked up from the road somehow? Will it matter if I leave it off or should I get a new one? It also had some very black oil soaked on it...

Think it was more to do with making any sense rather than your spelling;)

+1 Lol

Lol, wouldn't go that far. The Mini was superb in its day just like the 1*2 is now.

Why thank you very much bmh:D I have been getting a very small puddle under my pas side rear bench for months and couldn't work out where it was coming from. I will look into that.

Clutches are heavy and have a high bite point. Are you using a standard exhaust or is it a stainless? I know my standard one fell apart about 2-3 months after I got it. Stainless is your best bet if that's the case.

Could be torque steer if its under acceleration? if not then might be uneven tyre wear or tracking maybe. Don't think the spluttering is normal, mine doesn't do it.

Lol, me too.

I know, how stupid of me. I was looking forward to it too because it wasn't to far for me to go. Next time! Some good pics, the weather was on your side by the looks of things:D

s**t, for some reason I had it in my head it was next weekend:o . Looks good. Not done anything other than wash my car today:(

Not being funny but I thrash my 172 just as much as I would if I had a cup. I just like to have the nicer interior, climate, esp.......

Bugger, I should have just saved some cash and got a 1.6 lol. Or come here and I'll show you what one can do.
