Thanks for the Welcome MiniIreland

maybe your engine steadies need replacing, could be you exhaust rattling off the bottom of the bulkhead? also could be a shock mounting, up under the front wings, grab the top of the shock and give it a good shake, any play and they might be the culprit Thanks Macker Will check engine steadies and ...

Was heading into town this evening in my 1990 Mini 998cc when a very loud rattle started from under the front of the car :evil: ...not an engine rattle, it sounded like 1 of the front wheels was lose and about to fall off. Pulled the car over and both front wheels where tight, track rod ends and bal...

I looked into getting a car picked up from the UK last year and NVD where the cheapest, not sure if that's still the case but worth a look.
