Irish Mini Owners Club

Hi All, Well it’s finally time for the 2000 MPI restoration. I have recently finished the new garage for the mini, nothing grand, it's now out of the elements and tucked up in a nice 15x12 foot extension to the 12x12 foot timber shed I already had, but with a 4" concrete base & double doors...

Hi All, A big thank you to Billy for arranging a great weekend, i'm just sorry i missed the Saturday evening/Sunday morning activities. Myself and the boys had a fantastic time and it was good to put faces to the names which i will probably forget by the next time we meet, (I have a bit of a goldfis...

Didn't get the reg but managed to flash them.
Anyone here?

Hi All,

Thanks for all the replies, I have changed the leads, but no change.
Looks like it could be the coil pack GTM Coupe.
Not running too bad at the moment so i don't think i will rush out to buy one just yet.

Hi Woody,

The old ones went in the bin the day i bought the car, but i do remember that this problem was the reason i changed them.

Am thinking of making up a set of wheel nuts for the car, does anyone know what the thread size is?


Dave T.

Hi Billy,

I changed it 3 weeks ago.

Cheers Dave,

But I think it might be engine related as it's lumpy even when its not moving,
if you slowley rev it up, she seems to smooth out at about 2K rpm.
I will have to do a bit more Investigating under the bonnet.

Hi All, I have a few things that I hope someone might help me with. The first one is that my engine seems a bit lumpy below 2000 rpm in low or high gears, feels like a slight misfire, over 2000 rpm she runs smoothly. New plugs fitted recently, leads seem fine but can't see it being them as she runs ...

Hi All,

Thanks for the replies.

Billy, I am based in Clashmore, just outside Youghal.

TMG, not sure i can make Mondello on the 22nd, I think i'm being dragged to a family 'do'.
