Irish Mini Owners Club

anything is possible with minis thanks for advice woody ya standard manifold will check that later on this week and let you know.

lets start with NCT no.1 Low idle CO 2.05% HC 186ppm High idle Lambda 1.14 CO 1.06% HC100ppm (forgot i needed CAT and exhaust had small leak) Retest after fitting CAT and pipes and back box Low idle CO 3.00% HC 549PPm!!! High idle Lambda 0.87 CO 5.02% HC207ppm Restest AGAIN after more work Low idle ...

emissions kept going up!!! 1st time no cat on mini and it had lowest O2 reading.fitted cat and back box retested and reading was twice as high....3rd time after adjusting timing and all that was higher again..that why we dont talk about NCT for now....Cheers for the advice lads,will check the switch...

After NCT (which we dont talk about) my brake lights are staying on all the time!
Has anyone come into same problem,any help would be great thanks

love the colour,saw it parked in arklow around frenhill had to slow down to have a look.you might see mine parked outside opel dealers in arklow.

thanks stan,still bit of work to do but isnt that what minis are! also NCT tomorrow so im sure that there will be more to add to list. also saw a 93 white with blue chequered roof heading onto m11

battery light would be on if alternator not charging battery mine came on when belt came loose id say battery had it no matter how long you drive it wont charge.

is it your mini i saw there a while ago? am i right in saying they can make up an exhaust also for a mini?

not sure if this is any help but here in arklow is ABCD engineering if they dont sell im sure they'll know who does their no is 0402 24524

Nothing 'mini' about the 'crossover' saw one parked next to an Opel Zafira and to be honest there not much in the size!!!

hope they did their homework they looking for €7000 for it.

at last order gone in for few bits for stud!!!!thanks to minispares ,then it off to gareths garage to panels on and other bits done to poor car..see you all MTM 2012 for sure!

hi,
try a opel dealer i work for one and an 063 battery will set you back €80 in total.
they come with 2 year warranty and it 50amp 420cca so plently of power.
that is if its not alternator problem. hope this helps.
