Irish Mini Owners Club

Did anybody keep a note of how much they spent on petrol on MTM, for the whole journey up and down or down and up as the case may be.I spent app 110 euro by the time i got home.

Check pistons in carbs may be stuck.
Could have dirt in jets.
Did you change leads could be faulty.
You could check compression also.

Dont know if you have been driving with light on, check if fan belt is broken.

Managed to get hole blocked tonight after trying different washers, will keep an eye on it for leaks.Got the brakes bled and put wheels back on, took for small drive. Fingers crossed all seems fine car looks like off roader sitting so high compared to what it was like.Hope all work was worth it and ...

Have these calipers myself for last few years never thought to look at nipples, spent all night tonight boring out old nipple and fixing hole.Never realised how hard metal in nipples is, spent most of night resharpening bits, when i had hole retreaded could not get out last tapered bit of nipple.Whi...

Managed to cut pieces off shields and fit them back on, seem to be grand for now never had any trouble with them before.

Got the rear finished, painted shocks yellow for a change.Started on front am going to fit metro 4 pot calipers as well while i am at it. http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/tommini_album/BBBB003.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/tommini_album/BBBB004.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/al...

Did anybody ever leave these off there cars.Am putting on metro 4 pot calipers, will have to cut shields to make them fit was thinking of leaving them off.

Brings back memories to see car in pieces like that,keep up good work will be worth it in end.

Have the aluminium cone out just trying to extract rubber donut out of subframe, seems to big to remove without taking off top arm.

Is it possible to get out front suspension rubbers without taking off top swinging arm.Have done it myself years ago, but tried tonight and do not seem to be able to remove them.Is it possible that there are slightly wider ones or are they all the same.

Fine garage nice and big, looks very well built best of luck with it.Still working in rain myself will get something sorted soon hopefully.

Thought as much will just clean them up with a bit of paint and put them back on.

Started putting in hilos during week.Pictures of car with degreaser on it before i go further. http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/tommini_album/YOUGHAL221.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/tommini_album/YOUGHAL224.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/tommini_album/YOUGHAL226.jp...

I thought it was possible too fit metro 4 pot calipers and vented discs under 12 inch wheels.
I read in magazine lately that it was not possible does anybody know for sure.

Still have not got one must make more of an effort over next few weeks.Plenty of work ahead of you so.

Round holes.

I am going to chance putting it up in front garden as i have no back, I have the concrete done allready.If i had a back i would build it myself, might still do it myself if i can source proper sheeting so that it will look proper.I am in a corner house with a triangular shaper garden in front.

Saw theire site [SHANETTE SHEDS] sent them email was sent reply saying they would get back to me,have not heard anything since.That was last year.

Am looking for garage to put mini in,want one 11 foot deep and 10 foot wide, did any body ever get one made this size.I have looked at a few places but they only want to do standard sizes.Need double doors on it 6 foot wide hanging from left side of front as you face it.

Not for myself am looking for a friend,he needs one to finish suspension on his car. Looked up somerfords £383 sterling for one not counting postage.Seems very expensive.Thanks for all replies. See ye all at AGM,Billy will have entry form for mtm for you.

Is it possible to get rear hydrolastic displacers anywhere.Dont see any on mini spares or mini sport.

Just to wish everybody a happy christmas,have not posted in a long while but look in most days to keep in touch with what is going on.
