Break in the loom near the ecu, had a problem with the clutch slave cylinder so when I was investigating that I must have broke the loom.

Thanks for the advice

Ya just a process of elimination, tried camshaft sensor aswell just gonna try and go through wiring loom now

Ya was running a dream until today, turned over every time first time, tried towing again but hoping for a connection to fall back in place but nothing which has led me to think of crank shaft sensor!

Have a problem with a 99 mpi in that I can't get a spark or fuel to turn over from ignition . It's making a effort to start but just won't start. Can't get a spark, fuel motor is not engaging but have tested and it's fine. Thought it might be immobiliser but after a tow it did start purely by coinci...

Billy, I lived around the corner in seaview close! Was only a young fella at the time and you bought the new mpi and at the time I wanted to buy the purple mpi rover had in the showroom but couldn't get the finance!! Went for a run one time with you on an outing and you gave me the automatic to driv...

Billy,

Have you lived in Carrigaline previously?

If you did I think I may have met you a long time ago, only reason I ask is the guy I met had pretty much the same collection of Minis you have!

Des,

Whats involved with replacing the fuel sender? Not something I have tackled before.

Hi everyone, Looking for a big of advice. Fuel gauge on my 99 cooper is not reading correctly in that when I fill her up it only ever reads as 3/4 full on the gauge! I wondering if there is a way to reset the gauge ? Or will it need to be replaced? Its a gauge which is half fuel reading and other ha...

Hi

I managed to pick the door lock today, but still looking for the other parts and it would be great to get them local if you had them?

I'l probably get the parts for the clutch new and use miniquip for that but the other parts I could use second hand alrite, do you have contact numbers for those guys? Are they based in cork ?

Thanks again for your help

I am looking for a few items;

Clutch slave cylinder
Flexi pipe from master cylinder to slave cylinder
Oil dip stick
Driver side door lock mechanism

All for a 99 cooper.

If I can get these in cork it would be great if not I will order on line.

Thanks

Found a car seat from Mothercare, maxi cosi, belt ties through the back rather than around the front so it doesn't require a lot of belt to tie.

€109.00 which is a bit expensive but it has a great fit, not that bulky either.

Would anyone recommend somewhere to source spare parts in Cork?

Thanks for going to so much trouble Julie, found the seat and going to try it our tomorrow.

Thanks again.

Does anyone know of a baby car seat which fits a 99 cooper?

Tried the seat from my girlfriends car but it's a bit bulky and the rear seatbelt is too short.

The seat needs to be for a baby of 18 months.

Cheers.

Thanks for the info lads and Billy I appreciate your offer I will give you a call in the next few days.

All the best

Hi Guys, I guess I'm the new guy.! After 15 years of wanting to own a proper mini I finally managed to buy at the weekend 99 1.3 mpi cooper. I have a "few" bob to spend on it and I am looking for some advice on sourcing decent 2nd hand or reasonable new body parts, basically all of the pan...
