I know Quake, my Mini doesnt have a radio, but cigarette lighter works perfectly

Couple of small things really. I need to adjust the hi-los and to do that I presume would need to lift the car. And also the mini fails to start when I first turn on the engine in the mornings, the battery is nearly new and there is a loose wire that goes to the air filter (something to do with the ...

I suppose 44.84 miles per gallon is not too bad

I live in Carritwohill Billy.

I am sure I'll see you around. If you see a spanish mini on the road you know who the owner is .

Does any onw know a good mechanic in Cork?

Thank you all.

Hi all, I know it's been a long time and I promised to write something about my trip to spain , but i have been very busy I didnt really find the time. Just to recap; the plan was to fly to Madrid, and then drive the mini to Santander, get on the last ferry to Plymouth, then drive to Penmbroke and g...

Hi all,

Ok so. Thats exactly what my buddy the mechanich said; it shouldnt be a problem.

Thank you again!

Great advice! Thank you keith and BlackSe7en .

I’ll get new wipers, the exhaust should be ok, but I am worried about the alternator. It has never been changed before and I heard is one of the parts might break…

If that is the case, I'll be the first one on!!

Thank you The Marcos Graveyard for the advice

I think I'll talk to the guys before I get on the boat.

Maybe if I am one of the last ones to get on, I'll be one of the first ones to get off....How does it work?

Thank you again. woody: That’s the idea, good service, change everything might brake, and I was going ...

[quote="Simon and Natasha"] the best way to go from Plymouth is the a38 to the M5 follow that all the way to the top to the M4, then it's near enough a strate road to Pembroke but the signs will only say fishgard on them so follow that because it will split into a fork at a point where u w...

Thanks very much for the comments and advice. The Marcos Graveyard: can I join AA with the car having Spanish plates? I thought I couldn’t. I checked with my insurance in Spain and the breakdown assistance covers me no problem. However if they can’t fix it they will send the car to the nearest garag...
