Irish Mini Owners Club

you could fill it with nitrogen or some other inert gas first. They use this method on boeings and airbus when the tanks begin to empty to avoid a possible explosion.

just wondering has any of the regions got young members 18 yrs + finding it hard to get insurance or crazy quotes we have a few of these and would be a pity if insurance cant be got for them even if only for events for the summer. im 21, 675 fully comp with axa, although i had to bite the bullet at...

You don't need to remove the housing, just the cover and the clutch/flywheel, there is a special tool for fitting the clutch oil seal which makes the whole job a lot easier. cool, thanks man :D ill be definatley getting that tool!! is it handy enough to undo the flywheel with the engine in?? seems ...

there is a small hole in the botom of the flywheel housing, normally has a split pin in it to keep it clear, is there any signs of oil there ? I noticed this the other day and thought it was a bodge, must be a witness hole. oh and snap maxi, mine has the same symptoms and has a drip of oil in this ...

mine dropped from e1,800 TPFT, to e675 Comprehensive. Im well happy, did not expect that!
Although i have heard of some peoples quotes going up for some reason, maybe im lucky

try quoteclub.ie

i find hitting refresh works, but there aint nobody there .

you forgot the swift kick in the arse for the BMW driver

Im 21 , full license, 1 year NCB, quoted 875 on a 1380 91 cooper with axa. living in dublin close to city centre so it should be even cheaper for lads down the country.

last year it was 1,800 with quinn on a provisional.

hi welovemini, I own a 91 cooper, and have driven a 2007 cooper a good few times. I think BMW have done a really good job on the BINI, its realisticaly as good as it could be as regards to the whole appearance and the way the car handles and drives. But id have to agree with the other lads about BMW...

don't get me wrong I agree with the nct too on the safety aspect 100% its the stupid failures like the rear seat bench on the mini not screwed in(advice was to butcher it with self tappers) minor oil leaks, bucket seats harnesses, emmissions(this can be useful tho), handbrake to work on 3 clicks(if ...

Guitar hero ad on kerrang has a mini 30 in the garage, and the heineken ad when the town transforms into the 1800s there is a mini in the background as the cobbles change!

could be alot worse lads, what i cant understand why ye insult these poor minis to these test, im driving minis a long time and never nct'ed a mini and further more wont ever insult my daily driver to such a test, it goes great without it and never have been asked why i dont have it nct'ed. minis a...

The black mini 30 in Brookwood is mine! The red one is my neighbour's -- he's going to do it up. Hope mini thieves don't descend on the road now that they know we're here! Its a very clean car! Is it a original irish car? The thieves would need a trailer for the other two by the look of it :cry: th...

Kona, I'm gathering up several heads so haven't made my mind up yet on price. As a guide, 12G940s on Ebay are currently making between 99p and £225 cos they are used on MGs as well. And no I definitely won't be looking for anywhere near £225. Get there early on Sunday. First come, first served. Bil...

There are 3 minis on brookwood ave, a nice black 30, and the other two are hidden, one is a red cooper with no gille behind a wheelie bin!! the other is under a cover, i think its yellow from what little paintwork i can see. Id get pics but, maybe a bit odd me standing in sombodys garden with a came...
