went and got a centre exit exhaust fitted.
on the way there i discovered the flasher can was playing up for the RHS so have got a temp flasher from supercheap. fixed the mixture up a bit, but cant find any timing marks anywhere.

anyone know where there should be timing marks on a 998 A+? cant see any marks/notches on the crank pulley and couldnt see anything on the flywheel

If it was just the badges by themselves and the car didn't have the matching history they probably would be worth more than the car :P

it's not what I did to the mini, but what the mini did to me...

decided not to drive the mini to work today.

hopped into the xtrail, reversed 1 meter.. bang straight into the bluestone wall.

karma?
