Irish Mini Owners Club

all sorted.. `gave it an hour and it finally kicked in!

Hey guys, My 98 paul smith isn't sending any fuel to the engine. I have removed the tank and all parts, checked the pump, cleaned the filter and it all seems to be working fine. Today I replaced the relay for the fuel pump and still no joy. All other fuses and bits and bobs seem to be working fine.....

i didnt but i will..

the switch isnt lighting up either.. i just presumed they acted as fuses for the rest. ill try the fuse board in a while!

hey lads, do the rocker switches inside the car act as fuses aswel?
my rear window demister and rear fog light havnt been working for a while and im wondering if the switch has something to do with it!
ive a 98 paul smith if it makes any difference to the answers..

cheers

anyone here drop me an IMOC card two fridays ago on exchequer street? i just wanna say fair play.. its the last thing i would have done in that rain!!!

atlas did the clamp the rim thing with the mirrors.. and i would have been better off doing it myself with a shaving mirror.. or one of those mirrors at the funfairs that make u look about 2 foot tall! but ill wait til im free next week and i might pop out to them unless anyone has any better sugges...

im in the same boat.. went to atlas on the kylemore road just today.. 40 quid and my mini still throws me into the path when i let the wheel go.. went back straight away.. and still no improvement.. so its a no on that place! how much did ISA charge ya keith?

hibernian aviva wanted 2500.. recession.. not for them anyway!

im 21 .. 1st time having my own policy! i rang around for a few quotes today.. and it had a hilarious outcome.. 2500 in hibernian.. lowest was 1100 in quinn.. exact same policys.. ahh i hate irish insurance companies.
