    Plastic Undertray??

    Anyone know how easy it is to take off the plastic undertray underneath the engine & gearbox? Dropped a light bulb in engine bay and can't get at it. Don't want it bouncing about in engine compartment. Is it just Torx screws??

    Advice Please!

    Just need some advice on polish & wax please. I currently use Autoglym SRP and when I used to own my mini I would use 2 coats SRP and then 2 coats EGP. I found this gave great results and the finish lasted a good 12 weeks or so. I bought some Collinite 476s a while back and haven't tried it yet...

Car has only done 61000 miles from new and there was only around 8 or 9 made on H reg so its quite rare. When i...
