Irish Mini Owners Club

Ok so I just thought I leave a little feedback in case anyone else is coming home to a garaged mini from a period abroad. After calling for quotes from all of the below: autoline, Carol Nash, Axa,liberty, Aviva, AA, 1st Ireland, FBD, Chill, Adelaide/MCE, Allianz, AIG, 123, Its4women, nononsense, cov...

Thanks for the info guys. With regard to the refusal process, I suspect that if I ask for written letters when declined they will just start quoting me ridiculous prices to avoid officially declining but it might come to this eventually.

Hi All, I have recently returned from an extended stay in Sweden where I spent the last 6 years. Not wanting to sell my beloved mini I garaged it for this whole time and now that I'm back I was hoping to put it back on the road. Only problem is that no-one will quote me for the insurance.

Seems to be this: CATALYST OVERHEAT WARNING OPERATION (JAPAN ONLY) When the starter switch is in position II, battery voltage is switched through fuse A6 in the passenger compartment fuse...

Hi all, I've found solutions to dozens of my mini problems on these pages in the past (cheers everyone) and have never needed to post before but can't seem to find anything relating to this one anywhere so hope someone can help. I drive a 97 tbi jap import which I picked up last august, done a bit o...
