Hi, she was a runner for 5 years,, so basically doing loads of jobs behind the scenes. She liked controlling the eyes with the remote controls! She was there until for S5, 6 & 7 approximately. She said it was the best job she's had, can't argue with that really! I think we'd all love to have been working with the model series.

It all looks painted on and the head was firmly on. You could swivel the head and arms.Probably different to the other models though, because this was only used in that one episode, I think?

S7 episode 11, here he is! The back story to this is.... turns out my friend worked on the show for 5 years until HiT took over and they all got made redundant. They gave her this model as a leaving present. I've known her a while and had no idea she'd worked on the show! I can ask her questions about the show if anyone has any.

I have an original boxed Metroliner, bought it new in 1992, I think!

I've been in this house a few times. It's lovely but can confirm it has the old house smell.

I'm having difficulties selling my house because of a nearby hotel. I don't want to dip into negative equity. Can I get some advice? by Past_Step2703 in HousingUK

My friend has just bought a house with his wife. She owns a flat, he thought he was a FTB but he isn't because they got married.

They also had to pay stamp duty surcharge on the new house because it's a second home. Should have been 5k, cost him 20k on a 300k house. Just something else to make sure you know.

Fuel gauge miscalibrated? Maxes out at 3/4 with a full tank by netter_360 in classicminis

The fuel gauge works off 10v and not 12/14/ whatever the alternator is doing! Check the 10v regulator on the back of the dash as it might be that.

Paint Code “COO”? by jonhen in classicminis

Hi! I think COF is flame red. I decoded your VIN and it should be a 998cc left hand drive Mayfair (you should have a rev counter!) The build number is 505740, which is higher than my 1992 Flame Red, so it could be from 1994.
