I'm a frequent vistitor to the group, just reading all the interesting
posts.  I now have a problem of my own, well my dad has.  I isured him that
I'd post this problem this morning and by the end of the day (GMT) he'd have
his answer.  I hope somebody can help.

He's got a Rover Mini Cooper 99' T.

When he lifts his foot off the accelerator to change gear it carrys on
reving as if your foot is still pressed down.  It doesn't do it all the time
though.
He took it to the garage and they said it's probably an electrical problem
and told him to bring it in next week.

On a slightly different note he's been through 2 stereos in the mini, both
from the same fault.  The amps got damp.  The manufacturer of the last one
(JVC) said its a problem with the car and cannot be repaired or exchanged
under the warranty.  My last stereo also did this.  It happened to us both
while driving in heavy rain whilst on the motorway.  I have a 91 mini 998cc.
Is there away of protecting the stereo behind the dash?

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Thank you nin avance for any replies!!!
