Irish Mini Owners Club

Was it Philip Watson?

Little bit off topic here but if anyone looking for some shamrock glass I have some sliding door glass.

Just means they will be checking that the tracking isn't out after messing with the steering arm. Check tracking and it will be fine.

That mini belongs to Giovanni. It was resprayed by bracken Autobodies in Arklow last year and seats recovered by a guy in tullow.

Js recovery 085-1000306. Talk to John. He is a mini owner and enthusiast too and a good mate. Based in sandyford area. Fully insured and a registared ifro trained recovery company. But very keen rated. Tell him I sent you.

Always wanted to go to this show but ever year it lands the same weekend as Goodwood.

That manifold could also be from a MG1100 Or MG1300

Saw a nice 01-D- cooper sport in red driving on the Stillorgan dual carrigway yesterday. Just near RTE. A girl driving and guy in passenger seat.

Just a tired batery in my opinion. Wouldnt worry i'd just refrane from leaving stuf on again. You might get till next winter out of it.

I'd put money on it being earth terminal. it was fine before you disconnected it to fit cb and if the bolt is missing the battery wont be getting a true charge. Fix that, take the car for a good drive and i think you will find problem solved.

Check battery connections. If they are dirty or not tight it can prevent charging.

You can just about fit an 096 battery (as used in a pug 306 diesel) but an 063 is perfectly big enough. I have an 063 i got off Mark and it never fails to start. (well not because of the battery anyway.)

(Obviously Gareth is working too hard these days and thats why he forgot that it was Marcus Gronholm and not Sebastian Loeb who crashed out of the WRC in Sligo. )
