Irish Mini Owners Club

Thanks woody.
Have checked all vaccum hoses all are fine.

Hi all. Hopeing somone might be able to shine some light on this issue. While checking ignition timing using a timing light the flash was occuring before then after TDC. No movement of the distributor made any difference. Its an spi so possibly sensor related just woundering has anyone seen this bef...

Congratulations first off lad.

I may not be around myself for this but I'm sure we could arrange something or someone to have my mini available for this.. provided it's suitable

Class yoke lad best of luck with it, must call round for a look

Must get back to this, , a year on now finding it hard to get time to it with work other cars and college.. waiting for a class atm so i sed id pop on and write a bit, forgot where i was but sure a quick update now lots of pictures to come,.. After a few months of wiring and a new crank sensor there...

Think the vaccum pipe goes from the air intake to under the air box to 1 nipple,
and from the other nipple to behind the throttle body,
then from the other nipple behind the throttle body to the map sensor.. from what i can remember ,

Was on the road today and Met a white mini in grange and tomini near ballymoate on there way to dunegal,,

Hope all have a good time. . raged not going this year,

that is pricey,, seems to be the one tho,

Time for a quick update on this, with a week off college had some time to make some progress.., had removed the engine and fitted a minispares 4 pin diff http://i1018.photobucket.com/albums/af308/ianob93/SANY0982.jpg http://i1018.photobucket.com/albums/af308/ianob93/SANY0980.jpg http://i1018.photobu...

Got this sorted with a few hours of sanding fibre washers assembling..and taking the diff apart.. countless amount of times!
now turns freely as it should.

Thats a great link davey

but unfortunitly dosent help with the problem of the diff being locked when fully assembled,

Hi all, hoping someone might be able to shed sum light here.. Recently purchased a minispares 4 pin diff, i assembled it following the instructions given.. all was turning fine with the first output shaft and 4 planet gears in the cage.. with the second output shaft in it started to turn less easy :...

Hello, - Engine has a leak from the bolthole where the lower engine steady was, it is not a big leak but would it be expensive to get this part of the engine removed and the sheered off part of the bolt removed and the lower engine steady reattached. Craig I had this problem before, managed to get ...

Ah i see now, hadnt time to look into it on lunch il have to search more before asking in future

Not getting as much time at this as i hoped but went fitting the duplex timing set today.. placed the two sprokets to check alignment.. had to remove a few packing washers to get them in line, All was good until went to put on the chain the sprokets would not line up because of this bolt in the way ...

When you torque a head the 50lbs is designed to crush the gaskit a specfic amount so does fitting two gaskets half this therfore requiring 100lbs? Think you may have to look at somewhere like turbominis.com for more information or contact the manufactorer of the decompression plate. Il look it up o...

Now have Removed the head and fitted the decompression plate and the 2 headgaskets, gave the block, plate and head faces a quick clean, need to get a compression tester tomorrow to make sure the compression has been lowered enough. http://i1018.photobucket.com/albums/af308/ianob93/SANY0968.jpg http:...

So its about time i got a start on this, Had this kit a while but im just finished college for the xmas so il have a bit more time to work on it. I know there is a lot of work to do to get it working right and its no way a 'bolt on job' so il give it a shot and see what can be done. kit consists of:...
