Irish Mini Owners Club

Sorry I couldn't make it. What was the Marcos like?

Billy is the alzheimer's setting in already, sure didn't you work on the drop nose yourself only last month. You robbed its alternator for the Marcos , a job made easier by the lower leading edge of the engine bay.

Hope you have either fast engine to stay in front or big brakes if your behind!!

Thought about calling in the troops but the car is 6'4" in a garage 7'8" and theres only room for one in the engine bay so whats the point.
Don't worry though you can still come and help on the Hornet for mtm, Chinese and Indian both very good in Drogheda.

Hi guys party over and nearly recovered. There are two pipes on the bottem of the air filter ,one goes to the top of the air filter and the second goes to the back of the inlet manifold. These pipes control the hot/cold air intake that allows the engine to warm up. If the bottem pipe is lose you are...

Got an invite to drive Lotus on track but since its taken 2months to get the head off I can't see me getting it back on in 3 days. Could be better than our '89 lap in minis only without the back seat passengers to scare, some people just are not used to minis and chichanes.

Went to see van in Birmingham, couldn't belive the poor condition.This van had travelled around Sweden with us in '95 but has been left sitting in grass since. Roof was rusted and I was unable to see the bottem but suspect the worst. sorry

If your going to do it ,do it right.

I know where there is another vent top van lying in a field ,if your into jigsaws we may have something going here. On the otherhand I'm off to Birmingham in the morning and am meeting Big Ian who's van is currently for sale, will inspect.

Just been to the gallery and can't belive that someone was allowed to post such crap on a miniclub site. This is not Board Failte so moderators or webmaster please remove this crap. I know there are better photos of the weekend available as the cars were lined up and all drivers were asked to pose a...

Clutch pressure plate may have been replaced with a rally/race item. Any brand or markings on clutch, sometimes race items are colour coded red/yellow.

Welcome to the forum harry and I hope you take the next step and join the club. Being a truly national club this forum is an excelent tool for members to keep in touch and for non-members to get some idea of whats going on in the club before deciding to join or not. Disscussions go on in all clubs a...

The Van very nearly did disintergrate save amazingly for the smooth roof and quater panels which are in excelent condition and available for sale from zakgt.

The indicators are feed through the hazard light switch, if the switch is not fully off the indicators will not work .If the switch is worn flick it on and off several times and try again.

Just incase you don't know the verto clutch puller uses metric bolts,the imperial bolts will go in but you will pull the threads out under pressure.

Always worth changing the gear select and output shaft oilseals when the engine is on the deck and the crankshaft oilseal when the clutch is out.

Glad to hear they did a good job, I get all my parts there.Good to see another Mk.II , we had three in Kilaloo last weekend. Would be interested in hearing where the body was different. Best of luck with the rebuild

Thanks for a great weekend guys, only took me three days to find the lake. Good to see so many old cars turned out .

Well you do have a soft spot for BMW's. Stick a MINI badge on the 5 series it has about as much in common!!

I agree with city if you can fit a dual system. You may need to match your rear cylinders to whichever master cylinder you use.

The IMOC accepts all Minis into the club and in fact you don't even have to own a mini to join. Be aware though that some vintage and classic shows that we attend as a club may require that only cars over a certain age may attend.

The ones I got were small numbers but he maybe able to do large.Think it was 40 euro for two plates .Paul Kelly may be able to tell you more
