Ok folks I've just tried to carry out a full service on my sister's/nephew's
1992 Mini British Open Classic LE and whilst attempting to put in fresh oil
(Castrol GTX like it matters anyway), I heard a strange glugging noise and
found my garage floor becoming awash with oil.

Im looking for Mini clubs in Cambridge; Cambsmini dosent seem to be alive
anymore, if anyone knows of one please let us know.
Alternatively, if anyone is interested, perhaps we could setup one for the
cambridge area.

Anyone have experience dealing with the Wisconsin Department of
Transportation? They have denied me title to my 1970 mini. I am
appealing the decision and could use any help I can get. Of course I
know that the Federal NHTSA standards are met by the 25 year exclusion

was wondering if anyone has had a problem with the ignition not
turning off.
i can turn off and removed the key and the engine keeps on running.
so to turn it off, i either disconnect the coil lead or stall it in

I have a 1972 clubman estate, which is original with its 998cc, I have owned
it for 2 years and love the thing to bits,
harvest gold, pretend wood down the sides, brown interior, great. Firstly I
want rear seat belts, as the kids seem to slide about a lot (joke!!!!!!),

I have a couple of bits to touch up on our Open Classic, i have used a dupli
colour spray before but found it a little lighter than the rest or the car.
Does anyone have any experience of the best one to use (do Rover do one that
is better?).

Mine has a 2" maniflow exhaust and LCB, 1.75" SU with a K&N.  
I have to replace my gearbox in the next couple of weeks so was
thinking about fitting a lumpier cam. Im not going racing, but wouldnt
mind if it went a bit faster, fuel enconemy (SP?) isnt an issue but Id

Hi, Ive been looking for a cheap mini (about ?100/150) to do up for a year
cos i cant drive yet. I dont want to buy an already done up 1 cos it would
just sit on the drive and rust. I want an MOT failure really that wont cost
more than the cars worth to fix. Then slowly but surely ...

Just bought my first Mini 1000 and don¹t know if anything has been done
to convert it to unleaded. Should I worry about it? Should I use gas
additives? What octate gas should I use? I am in the states and can¹t
really get unleaded...

I recently fitted a set of 4 gb alloys and new tyres. I also had the wheels
re- aligned. BADLY! When I let go of the wheel the car tends to pull left
slightly. It got worse (obviously) when I put in negative camber arms. Also
the steering wheel tend to "shiver" at about 50 mph. I ...

Help me guys..
I have a 91 Mini Cooper, and she's looking sad.  Holes in the scuttle,
holes in the A panels, frightening floors and sills, slop in the
steering, no cones to speak of on the front and so much blue smoke at

Am i correct in assuming that the length of the drive shafts on a disc and a
drum brake mini are identical and the only difference is the length of the
CV joint. Or am i wrong?

So I finally broke down and bought my first Mini! A red 1973 989!
Anyway, there is a kill switch mounted in the boot that kills all of
the power directly from the battery. The previous owner (a dealer)
suggested switching it ³off² at night or when I am not driving it.

Is it possible to buy a Cooper at manufacturer suggested retail price
(MSRP) without a long waiting period?
Thanks
