Dear folks,
Recently the engine of my car (95 Rover Cooper) always stalls when I want to
stop the car. When I depress the clutch pedal fully while the car is about
to stop, the rpm of the engine just drop straight to zero and the engine

anyone have an opinion on wade cams?  i've been told they're a better bet
than the english (kent) ones.
the 3 models i've heard about are 104 (very mild apparently), 140 & 240.

I will over the pond from the 16th to the 25th.  Any UK mini events
occurring?  Basically will be in Devon and Sussex but not adverse to
traveling a bit.

I had a great time yesterday. I decided I was going to try to give my
mini a better carburation after fitting a stage 1 kit and spent a few
hours making my own needle starting from an AAV and using winsu from
www.winsu.co.uk as reference. I sanded it down here and there testing

Looking at my front tyres (currently Dunlop sports 165/60/12) i think soon i
will need new ones.  I corner pretty hard so it's my own fault, though I
have done 20k on them which i guess isn't bad.

session. I left the car this morning and at 6 pm this guy calls me saying he
could not do any tuning because the parts are not at all right. He said that
the exhaust and the inlet manifolds are too big for ...

Hey folks,  My '97 Cooper (Mpi) failed the MOT today on emissions.
Passed the natural idle test, but failed both fast idle tests because of the
lambda reading (CO and HC were fine)
At 2846 rpm lambda was 1.152 (limits are 0.950 - 1.090)

I recently bought some roof gutter trim (the kind that comes in a roll) and
some doorstep trim, same plastic roll type. THE STUFF SMELLS LIKE sh.t!!!
does anyone agree? :)))

Can anyone advise if i can do my own visual check to see if my mini has an
unleaded cylinder head?
It's a Mini Advantage 1988 with a yellow head, I was told that if its an
original engine, which it is, that the colour may indicate it, but i'm

Hi People,
                I am tempted to sell my 95 Stage 1 Rover Cooper and buy a
98 or newer Cooper Sport, if I did so would I notice signigicantly more
power or would it just be the big wheel arches and extra safetly features

3 QUESTIONS about adding a better coolant sensor/gauge: <1293cc engine>
I've got an original electric, temperature sender in the head (of the car)
;-) . It currently (no pun intended) sends its resistance values to a cheapy

At Mosport this weekend for vintage car races,  I picked up a couple of
copies of the 'Mini Gazette'.  This is the club newsletter of the 'Mini
Owners of Southern Ontario',  and particularly attractive since in it's
