I'm getting just a little worried about possible problems with WOT in 5th & 6th, I admit to being guilty of this on occasion I've got a service coming up soon & am thinking of booking my Hartge into Birds, anything in particular I should ask them to check RG, & have you had dealings with them before? For piece of mind I'd rather they looked at it than my local dealer.

Cheers

I have had dealing with them but only a test drive years ago. Not been to them whilst I've had my car.

As I said before, speaking to Roland, WOT in 5th and 6th can kill any tuned MINI. However there are things that can be done to help prevent the problems ocurring.

TBH the only thing Hartge on my car is the pulley now. All they seem to change is the pulley, the map and the filter. Well I have a GTT Cold Ram Induction system. The map is not standard after a few other mods on top of the Hartge.

I personally think the contributing factors are possibly the map (to be established), the standard spark plugs should not of been in there for sure.

It was acceptable in the 80's
