Thanks Harry. Will order a spare 'just in case'.

IIRC (It's been a *long* time since I owned a Mini), there's trick

the corrugated ones to fitting them, involving putting them in a 'G'

ISTR using Swarfega to lubricate them...

Thats what swarfega smelt of anyway.

Just fondle yer balls and replace it with the smell of Thrush...
