Irish Mini Owners Club

Classic means anything in the shape of the original Mini.

Where does that leave the Moke??

MTM 2007 ,Minis go all the way.

Looks like theres gona be a lot of late night candle burning in garages throughout this winter. Roll on the classics.

The standard distributor for that engine is a lucas 59D which has a clip on cap. Some Minis run a ducillier distributor which also has a clip on cap. Sounds like you have some other distributor on which the wiring may be more complex. What colour wires have you comming from the distributor?

Expect an offical dissicion after next weeks committee meeting . MTM is an IMOC event which has been successfully run by members of the Southern Region of the IMOC for the last few years. Southern Region members have expressed an interest at running next years event and this is likely to go ahead.De...

Sounds right to me.
Have you fitted air horns or spots without a relay??

I agree with all of the above ,well done lads in the western region

Hi b.fitzs
Which car was yours at national mini day?
I had a steering wheel with me in case we meet.

Venue moved to Clarinbridge Court Hotel

Venue changed to Clarinbridge Court Hotel.

Mad enough to drive a moke maybe but not mad enough to own one! Droped down to Drogheda to see the lads off on the charity run, 8 minis and binis ,unfortunitly the rain was pelting down .Harry was taking pictures so maybe he'll send in some, there heading for Navan ,Kells and Ardee and returning to ...

Not sure if he won it.
Only joined the club on his return to Ireland.Said he felt guilty everybody treating him so well assuming he was a member, IMOC has a good reputation on the continent.

What was the first good use for a moke, if youve ever been in a moke in the rain you certainly wouldn't camp in it.

p.s. wasn't me married the drunk!!

Recieved a letter from the organisers of this event saying that the event is being run again after lapsing for a couple of years.This is not the IMM . It is a three day "Rally" around Europe for road cars involving regularity test,navigation test and driving skills some of which are done o...

Exhaust shouldn't make much difference. Are you running electric or belt drive fan?.
Using coolant only instead of water/anti-freeze is meant to disperse heat better.
How is engine performing? Wrong ignition timing can heat up engine, check vacuum advance is working OK.

TMG Don't forget mokes are great for picking up drunk women!!

Sounds like a differential pin problem or possable main gearbox bearing. Get it cheaked very soon or could distroy engine if it lets go.

I hope to go but it wil depend on a last minute disscission.

You can always tweek it with period bits ,ie. old style alloys and arches,chrome wirers and fillr cap,cooper grill. At the end of the day its you car anyway you like it.

Sounds like you've reached that crossroads that most mini enthusiasts eventually do. Usual solution is buy another and have the best of both worlds (or two cars lying around with nither ever finished).

The key to his true identity may be found on the cover of sept. miniworld and one of his cars is on the cover of oct. miniworld.
Who did he sleep with in Poland??

Wouldn't recomend replacing the fusebox with inline fuses . As well as being a fusebox it acts as a junction between some heavy cables ,mainly brown or white so make sure your connections are strong enough for heavy current.

Are you sure the battery is fully charged.A nearly discharged batttery will power a voltmeter but will not start the car.Likewise a bad earth connection or bad battery connection will do the same. If the car starts first time on a jump it sounds like bad batttery connections or something discharging...

You should have recieved stickers from the secretary when you joined,He's just back from holidays so give him a chance.

How old is the car? axa and carole nash run classic car policies good value. Axa also do second car policies. I got a good quote for blackse7en in Drogheda with Axa but when he went to get it in Dublin they wanted a grand more, he came to Drogheda and got the low price even though the two people wer...

There are some 10" alloys that will fit but very few. I remember seeing a set on a Swedish limo-mini but can't remember which type they were.
