Make sure you clean the fuse connections on all the spades on the fuse box. I have had this nightmare recently and thanks to woody got this solved. as the fuse boxes rust at the back i found the best thing was to bypass them using in-line fuses. Indicator circuit has one in the fuse box (second one ...

Hi Marcos.

does woody take on such jobs.. i can get the car started with a jump but all these elctrical problems have me a bag of nerves.. i will drive to the other end of the country no problem if i can leave this with a mini guru..

Its a 1993 spi cooper.. the black box i mentioned is the relay module.

As i continue my quest to fix my intermitant starting problem i have found a couple of things i am not sure of.. if anyone can help please do 1. on taking up the airbox to check the vacuum pipe.. There is a second pipe coming off the underside of the airbox (a red pipe) that looks similar to the vau...

Can anyone recommend a good auto electrician in the Dublin area ??

Hi after sorting gremlins with my iginition system i now find myself without any indicators. Its not the flasher unit as the hazard lights still work. anyone have any suggesitons where i can start ??

As far as i can tell all other electrics are working and all the fuses look OK

Hi all, the car had lost all iginition lights but would still turn over. On further investigation i found the main wire from the ignigtion had come away from a terminal. on fitting it back together i still have no ignition lights. i traced the four fuses and found that one leads to another fused wir...

Its the four glass fuses. i have checked each one and they look ok.

Unfortunately when i went to start the car at work it would not fire up so i have had to leave it there. This time when turning the car over there was no ignition lights coming on at all. Not like a flat car, just sinply no dash lights what so ever... the car is a 1993 SPI so i am assuming its the b...

Hi, I have been having major problems with the cooper being sluggish to start appearing to have low battery power. after several charges i installed a new battery and although sluggish it improved. Now i find that the new battery is flat every morning but the alternator is also relatively new. I bel...

The gauge then reads as a full tank but will drop to nothing after around 20 miles. Can the float sender be repaired or do i...

I would like to add... and thank god. That the elder put his trusty skills into my cooper and helped me get through the dreaded NCT.. My thanks to the Elder Mr Paul Kelly of Minifix..

kerrymingo, To assit you with sending your pictures in. I bought a device recently in a vodafone store called a memory transfer stick. You simply take your memory card out of the camera (or phone) and slot it into this stick and plug it into the USB port on your laptop. This will then load all the p...

I tried this myself through google and found loads.

you need to go into google. Then above the search bar click on images and a new bar comes up. Then type in Austin Mini cooper or Rover mini cooper this will ensure that it does not pull up pictures of the later bmw mini

You would need to get the car looked at. It is never possible to pluck a price on a respray as it all depends on what hides beneath the current paint. You may need extensive panel work also. look up minifix in the golden pages and ask for Paul Kelly. Arrange a visit. he is near Croke park he will pr...

Depending on where you are. If your near the Dublin area i would recomend contacting Paul Kelly of Minifix. He is listed under garages in the golden pages. He will certainly know about getting a top job done.
