Irish Mini Owners Club

Or bring it down to the Bog Run this Sunday.

This is the type I use on the older Minis cos even if it fails, you can get started by just pushing the button. It can also be very handy for setting points etc.

There's probably cheaper than this locally;

And failing that, take a screwdriver and arc between the two connections of the solenoid. If that works, it's the solenoid is definitely the problem. There probably won't be many tractor supplies outlets near you Dave, though I may be wrong, but they're handy for supplying the old-style push-button ...

Dave, it could be the starter solenoid? Is there a click when you turn the key?
If No, It's a faulty solenoid. If yes, It's probably the starter.

Hope to make this. For anyone who hasn't heard of Lough Boora, it's where part of the IMM 2017 bid film was made that so many of us took part in as part of the IMOC's effort to secure the IMM for Ireland back in 2015 in Lithuania. Club members from all around Ireland converged on Co. Offaly to do th...

Great stuff Darran and good to see the club back in the pages of IVS. I had a Cork vintage club on to me this morning who want to feature Mini 60 at their show in July and want to give the IMOC a plug in Irish Vintage Scene as the club promoting Mini 60 at their show. I've passed on the details to A...

I was impressed with the Smooth-a-Ride system supplied by Mini Sport when trying out ZakGT's and Darran's Mpi's (13 and 12 inch set-ups) in terms of driving comfort as basically the cones are much thicker so there's more rubber absorbing road bumps. I fitted it to my own '98 on 12s and while it was ...

Having spoken to a couple of people who attended yesterday's meeting, there was a great turnout and a very positive vibe about future events. Looking forward to seeing loads of Minis on the roads of Munster this season.

Great idea Alan. I can't make Sunday but I'll organise a run in north Cork in April or September for you. Billy

Who on the committee is looking after the website? Looks well after the refresh.

Haven't had any in a while but here's one in Enniscorthy using a 1978 plate RZR708

Going out of Rosslare on the Thursday and back on the Monday

Great afternoon yesterday. Well done to all involved. Good start to the New Year.

No harm to give it a bump.

Great stuff. Looking forward to it.

For anyone that wasn't there in January 2018, the full address is:

Taylors Three Rock Hotel,
16 Grange Rd,
Rathfarnham,
Dublin 16,
D14 Y6X5

It's beside Marlay Park.

Has anyone details of the NY lunch in a few week's time? It's always a great afternoon and an excuse to meet up after the hols.

I use the photobucket app on my phone which is very handy

And just so the reg isn't forgotten when the ad expires, Kevin in Elphin says it's MIP557

It may not be as bad as you think. It was clearly damaged at some point in the UK and the insurance company may have decided that it was cheaper to write it off than pay for the repairs. It depends if there was much structural damage done to the car. A motor insurance assessor (google one in your ar...

Things have moved on, thankfully, Gareth. You can now just upload the file directly.

Gareth,

Welcome back. Throw up a photo or three.

If you're new to Minis, be sure to have the car checked out as there are a lot of Minis out there with incorrect log books to make them appear older to dodge VRT, NCT, tax etc. An accident with a falsely registered Mini will void any insurance, no matter how cheap you got it. Also, every Mini rusts ...

I think a nice Mk3 early 70's Mini looks great. Take Eamospud's '72 850, a super little car that has had twin carbs and a bigger exhaust fitted and it goes like stink. Nothing that can't be put back to standard if required.

Each to their own I know but 6222 ZC is definitely a ringer.

Whats the opinion on this one?

6222ZC was probably scrapped a long time ago. The rear seat belt fittings are definitely from a much newer car.
