Irish Mini Owners Club

well id say its your slave cylinder thats leaking. so when your sitting at the lights and your foot down on the clutch its loosing pressure and realising by its self stopping the engine. if the clutch was gone your car would be revving up when you going to put down the boot while driving.

I agree with the lad could prob be the pump but just check the termostat first. it is on top of the engine on the rad side in the alloy casing were the pipe from the rad goes into the head. if it is gone it would not let the water circulate and would cause same synptoms.

Congrats on the new machine lad.

its not working for me either

hows it going. only a thought if the car was lying around for a while at the garage it might have got some dampness in the distripator it would be worth taking it out and cleaning it or check your pints are ok if your car has points.

you should go upwhen it raining. cos the fella i work for brought his car up and got it in a good bit cheaper cos they were to lazy to look at it. but the price you got sounds about right.

hi dont know what it costs to bring in a mini but if you go to revenue site there is a vrt calculater there that should tell you. but i think with the way things are now the least that can be paid is arond 3 to 400 euro. you should look on piston heads there are some really nice minis on there reall...

hi if i was you id get it checked proparly. cos i set my own timing up with a timing light and when i brought it to mervin johnston he checked it and it was miles out. but to me and every one else it seemed fine. it was supposed to be 26 degrees but it was 54degrees out. he said if i had to keep dri...

hi i had similar prob my gears were like that you would have to be a bit ignorent with them it turn out to be the stick shift. the small alloy part inside was broken at the back and when you went to get gears it was catchen. i had to take it out and weld it. you should just take the small plate of t...

ya sholdnt be a prob i can make the bars of my own roof so would be a straight fit to yours. what type of rack would you like just a 2 bar one or you could design it yourself let me know.

Hi, just in case you think I did a runner with your money, Steven hasn't contacted me about collecting the parts yet. They're ready and waiting.
