Irish Mini Owners Club

Ya im doing it myself, ive done it before on my other mini.
I was just wondering where would be the best place to get them and how much they are for a good enough set of them

Im just wondering where in Cork would be the best place to get rear shocks for a mini and how much would they cost.
Im not looking for anything too expensive

Thanks for that nannyc ill can call around to one of them tomorrow and see if they have it cause i wont have time next week cause i have college exams

No a mechanic i know said he'll do it for me he used to work on minis before so he said he'd do i for me.
Do motor factors store these parts or will i need to go to a mini specialist.
Is there anything else i shoulg get while this is being done

More bad news today i felt the mini wasnt running right so i got a fellow i know to take a look at it and i found out the head gasket is one its way out so i have to fix that straight away and hopefully she should be good to go agin next week.

Heres the story when im driving along the road the car will stop going, it still revs when you press the accelerator but will go nowhere.When i pull in it will cut out and will keep cutting out as i try to take off.

Ya i bought one around this time last year.I fitted it myself with a fellow i know there is not much work to do with these kits as your paying for the quality.Mine fitted straight onto the mini without having to go cutting at the bodykit or anything.
