We ended up for a 1.2 TSI Yeti which I suppose is the closest VAG offering to the Countryman. It’s practical and handles well but it’s no Cooper S.

Skoda Fabia could be a good alternative or a Golf with the right engine.

They can also suffer from timing chain issues too but some less likely.

Also the standard 3 door mini hatch has a woeful sized boot

I spent quite a lot of time researching the R56 engines as we nearly bought a Countryman Cooper S.

BMW prince engine also in Peugeots. Long story short is buy as new as one as possible as they improved the tensioners etc as time went on. Listen out for the rattle on start up. Or buy one with the chains replaced already. Also check coolant levels as they can leak. Clutch is an engine out job too.

Tbh in the end I couldn’t find a decent enough one. There is a reason a lot of them are very cheap.

Great build! What’s the story with running SS in the second picture?

Yes! And could be yours…

Sorry if repost

I'm on the lookout for a spider for the v1 Rotor track crankset - the 24mm spindle version.

This is bad news for me as I try to cram everything into 1 or 2 sessions a week to still leave space for cycling

Jazzy frame! Will make a nice change from the usual race bikes

They are very cool but you could probably get similar thrills without the hassle

Aren't these basically a mandatory engine rebuild after X number of hours? Much more like the maintence a MX bike that anything designed for the road.

it’s in Spain but can be sold/shipped through other secure channels to avoid taxes and trouble

I do think if Elon and others start throwing a lot of dark money (as well as a massive social media platform) at Reform PLC we might find their electoral ceiling lifted a fair bit.

Talking to people on another forum that literally venerate Tommy Robinson

Bikeradar?

Why do you find the ITBs annoying? I’ve seen a couple mk2 MX5s come up for sale with them fitted and they seem a much cooler alternative than a turbo conversion - most of which seem to be dogs dinners

This is so sad 😞 I thoroughly enjoyed reading many of Hayley’s posts - her ability to understand and articulate ideas was unmatched on here.

Condolences to her family and all who knew her x

Just FYI if you need to claim from his insurance, I’m pretty sure you go through your own and they will liaise between the two companies - they have to agree liability between themselves first.*

*someone can correct me if I’m wrong, but this is what I’ve experienced in the past being on the ‘wrong side’ of the situation 😬

At least G has the excuse of being nearly 40

If they’ve inherited such a mess (which I can agree with) - why are their milestones so patchy?

Cutting NHS waiting times and building houses are both positives (and the last one ambitious) but these have been the go-to pledges for about 20 years. There’s so many missing pieces in their ‘plan’. No reform on welfare, social care etc.

I'd avoid most of the threads in this section if I was you.

What happened to the Aston? Any pics?

This is a very chaotic sales thread

Most of the quotes in that are total facepalm

Peak Yiannimize?

Just re-reading this and is your point actually that MPs with religious beliefs shouldn’t make decisions based on their religious beliefs?

That itself is quite a complex debate!
