Where are you based

It's cool man. I actually decided to drop it into a garage - so getting it sorted Thanks.

Hi folks, Wondering can someone help me. A bit of condensation gets into my right indicator lens regularly - so I'm constantly cleaning it out. Anyway, yesterday that indicator stopped working for a while, but came back in the evening. So this morning I decided to check it. The bulb was fine, but wh...

keith, Buddy - thanx for the replies. @Buddy - on the LE MPI there is only 2 spots, for high beams: http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j76/robjcurran/IMG_8022.jpg So basically all I'm looking to do is remove those two and put on these: https://www.plminishop.com/images/s6055_cm.JPG That's it, just a ...

Just bought new spots for my mpi. It's a cooper, but specifically a Mini John Cooper LE. Anyway, they have 2 spots as standard. With regards putting on the new spots, from what I can tell I would need to cut the cable and wire it to the new one. Is it as simple as cutting the existing cable, and the...

Sorry to hear about this man

If you're thinking red, this guy on MiniResource went with Mazda Velocity Red on a rebuild. I think the colour looks fantastic.

The black 79 one? Is that back on the road?

If you're using a mini as your wedding car it's best to just remove the front passenger seat (only takes a few minutes). I'd recommend putting mats on the floor then over any metal to prevent snagging etc. Also, as someone else stated clean all the hinges to make sure there's no grease or anything t...

You're welcome mate! It's a 99 cooper btw

Was some craic alright; I jump you then my car dies, you try to jump me and mine won't start Thankfully that push done the job!

Take care, good to meet another mini driver (looks a very clean motor btw)....

Saw a beautiful red Cooper S (presuming genuine) on ZV 88XXX plates (I think - must be a classic import on ZV plates?) yesterday on the M50. Was driving behind him off onto the N4 before he exited for Liffey Valley. Got a wave! Didn't get a good look at the side/front but looked absolutely mint. Bea...

Available here for €19.99. Sounds like a bargain?!

But are these any good? Is there a risk of damaging the paintwork using one?

Spotted a very nice looking orange 81 (possibly LH) reg mini with black arches on the M50 yesterday evening. Passed me by as I was queuing to get off at N4 - didn't see it in time to wave!

Thanx for posting Maxi

Thanx mate. Lovely looking Cooper u have there

Where did ya get the spots/grill mate?

That's the pic :) Rob used to own my Cooper LE (well, he imported it from England actually). Seems like a top bloke, that clubman of his was a beast (got a brief spin in it as he lives in Lucan as well, and I'm man enough to admit I slightly soiled myself. Only slightly mind you :lol: ). When I saw ...

Before I saw this car a couple of years ago, I wasn't a Clubman fan. However this one changed all that. In my eyes the most beautiful example I've seen (love the pic of it with Robs (sadly now dead) black VTEC Clubman). If you ever ever ever ever ever ever are stupid enough to sell it, please contac...

Spotted a v nice blue cooper sportspack with deepdish minilites (reg 00 - ? - 107XXX) in the Kildare outlet shopping centre yesterday.

[quote="BlackSe7en"]Nice trip home this evening. 98-D Cooper stayed behind me from Liffey Vally until Turning off at the Newcastle Road. Then parked beside a 88-C Powder Blue Mini at the Celbridge 5-Aside and then flashed a 96-D Cooper just as I pulled into my estate. It was too dark to ge...

[quote="mini_sprite94"]if you remove the seat F@ces just make sure there aint no snags exposed to catch the dress, oh your life wouldnt be worth livin'!

I'm sure it'd not be too hard to get a few minis[/quote]

lol - good advice mate

[quote="The Marcos Graveyard"]Get a smaller dress tbh.[/quote]

lol. U wanna tell her that?

[quote="DaveC"]Another one of our members used his Mini as a wedding car. The front passenger seat was removed to make access/dress issues easier.[/quote]

Brilliant
