Irish Mini Owners Club

hey,

Thanks for the info, unfortunately the car is 16 yrs old and doesnt qualify for the classic insurance, so best he could find was 790 third party or 880 fully comp.

Anyone any ideas?? Has anyone got insured with the Irish Vintage Engine and Tractor assoc??

Thanks,

Mick

Hey,

Been trying the number on the iveta website but never get an answer or a reply, internet searches bring back quotes of €400 plus!! It will be used as a second car so miles will be low i have a full clean license and im over 30, anyone know of anywhere I can get a reasonable quote?

Thanks

Is it a set price for the insurance or do the quotes vary? I am over 25 with another policy in my own name etc so i should qualify....

Is anyone insured with them or can you find cheaper on the web?

Any update??

[quote="DaveC"]Did somebody post something recently about a classic car insurance scheme that will cover 15 year old cars?

Did you have any luck with this, how much are we talking about??

[quote="The Marcos Graveyard"]Those are just a push fit, and there is no real way of tightening them, the chrome ones are held in by means of an nut and from memory I think they come with a rubber washer too, they are easy to replace and not too expensive to buy, it could be a simple fix.[...

[quote="The Marcos Graveyard"]Have you the factory plastic ones fitted or have you aftermarket chrome ones ?[/quote]


Hi,

they are rubber ones, so im guessing they are the factory fitted ones?

Hello again,

Water also seems to be getting in from one of the windscreen washer jets, this needs to be resealed, anyone ever comes across this??

hello,

No holes that I have spotted yet anyway!! It all appears to be surface rust so far. thanks again for the advice, much appreciated.

Any particular brand you would recommend using on the floors??

eh nice seats??

Hello, Mini floors could do you some care, what are the best products to use on them to seal them and where can I get them? How do you know if they should be replaced or not?? i also need some rubber seals for the engine bay are these just generic ones or should i get ones specific for minis? Thanks

Hello, had a chance to take a good look yesterday with a hose etc, seems to be a rubber seal was cut and not in place correctly where the cable for the aerial is therefore water is runnning down the cable and into the car, also there are a number of holes in the engine bay (for additional cables??) ...
