Robertbite, i was aware of the dreaded PS fan problem, but i had also heard that people later had trouble with overheating due to the lack of airflow. This was in a warm climate and it was very dry, so no water was in their fans. It was a few limited occurences, i just wanted to clear up what kind of overheating i meant

 

that's sad. you try to fix a problem and the fix creates essentially the same issue. i haven't had any problems with mine and it is 80 in december here. do you remember which brand was causing occasional problems? I have the moss one.

 

I've got the mini mania skid plate. Well worth it. Driving a Mini I have a problem slowing down for curves, The real problem: You just don't know whats around the corner. The other day someones tail pipe happened to be around the corner in the middle of my lane with another car comming the other way guardrail on the right had to stradle it. With the car lowered it did'nt quite clear some how it spit it out sideways between the front and rear tire on the passenger side. The skid plate took the impact luckily. No other damage.
