It's 190 sheets for the inspection so it better include a data check! (small price to pay when you're spending 10 grand+)

I got an S Cab 1 month ago in Hyper blue and its ace Its a june 06,Had 9000 miles on the clock and i bought it from Wollaston Nton.It has the tlc pack till june 2011 and is a cherished mini.

I did pay £15500 for it though

I paid the price from getting it from a dealer although it is a low millage tottaly mint car your 1 sounds like its a gd deal as long as everything is in order.

1 more thing ditch them runflats and get some aftermarket tyres and some tyre goo and you will be sweet.

I just done it and never looking back.I done loads and loads of research regarding what tyres to get and although the f1's are really popular with mini owners i did get the vibe that they dont last long atall.I went for faulken 452's for £250 for 4 all in cos they got ace ratings all round especcially for the bang for the buck.They do seem very good although time will tell

Do some reaserch for ya self on google and will prob see the same reviews i got

With the car I'm looking at being first registered in June 2005, I guess it will have LSD, is there any way of telling whether it has or not?

Could ask at the dealer or floor it out of a corner and see how the wheels respond. Other than that I don't know - as the dealer for the original spec - say you're looking at buying it or get the current owner to do it for you - thats the best I can suggest.

I would doubt it will have, but if it makes a groaning noise when you turn the steering wheel chances are it will have, there's a thread on here about the noise somewhere as many thought it was a fault
