Irish Mini Owners Club

I got mine on Friday, thank you.

FFS They will be failing cars for scratches in the paintwork next

I believe that Deansgrange is the worst for failing cars for non faults.

NUTS

Thanks for the help lads

So I need to get caps for all my nuts ??

Thanks for the replies.

If I get an 11/16 wrench then it wont fit the jack, or was the jack 11/16 too ??

I have a 1990 Checkmate that came new on Minilite style wheels. The problem I have is with the wheel nuts. The wheel brace dosnt fit them. They are 16.5mm across the flats. Do these look like the correct original nuts or have they been replaced at some stage please. http://i247.photobucket.com/album...

I have no problem with a reshell job when every thing off the old car goes onto the new but correct Mk shell. But I go mad when someone just changes the number plates

I think the law should also apply - goods are meant to be sold by metric volume not imperial

Saw a green Mini with white roof and roll cage at Cornelscourt about 2pm today. Driver giving it loads

Reported. Lets see if it gets removed.

If we all reported the add would it be removed ??

Sorry to hear of the damage. I would go talk to the parents anyway and tell them you will be giving them the repair bill. Their kids are their responsability.

"I have done too much to this car " Damn right there

I like the photo shopped one 8) Those of you of a certain age will remember the Austin Maxi, a 5-door hatchback that sold into the early 80s. Maxi by name in that it wasn't a short car. The new BINI Countryman is longer than it! Also the current Polo is bigger than the Mk1 Golf , cars are just getti...

I got new tyres recently but none of my local tyre centres would fit them for me. They would only fit tyres that they sold. I fitted them myself with a few levers - dead easy

I love the way a mechanic does a repair on the Diff from under the boot
