Hello everyone we are trying to decipher the engine number on our 1100 motor
from a 74 clubman aussie build here is the number but it does not match
anything from the Leyland books.
1015/7276

I have a 1988 Mini Red Hot and I wondered if it is possible to find
out which of the 1000 made my Mini is (i.e 10 of 1000). Does anybody
know how I could find out?
Thanks in advance,

My mini's had this problem since I bought it, I think it's time to post a
message about it and see if anyone can help. The door on the passenger side
needs to be slammed to close properly and when closed the door is not flush
with the body. the bottom stands out slightly and the top ...

I have a couple of completish cubman type cars & am looking at a Mk1
850 type body to buy. Will sub frames side gass & doors fit from the
clubman onto the 850. I am also hopeing to use the 998 & box from the
clubman. How much of the body & mech are interchangeable.

My 69 aussie mini is leaking water inside fairly badly in wet weather, so I
followed the advice that's been given here in the past to find out where its
getting in, and it seems that its coming in through the doors.
The door seals are all new, but the seal along the window edge on ...

I'm fed up with setting up mi mini's front suspension. I recencently put in
hilos, new knuckle joints and cups, new rubber cones and new gas dampers.
The car was fine before that, apart from the fact that it was low because
the old cones were pretty flattened. since I changed the ...

I hope someone can help. I have a  K-reg mini city which someone drove into
the side of last week. The guy gave me his number and car reg but said he
didn't want to involve his insurance company (probably doesn't have it)  He
said he didn't see me cos my car was 'too small'.

I have an N reg Sprite, great little car except I have recently started
getting a squeaking from the front near side, I have repIaced the engine
mounting rubbers, have tried greasing all that can be greased, WD40 on
various parts in and around the area but the squeak is still there.

Hi mini nuts,
Just fitted solid front subby mounts to the car, and I have an
annoying clunk now from the passenger side front. It's not the mounts
- they are all up tight and properly aligned etc., the tower bolts are

Under the steering column on my 1990 mini cooper is a black box with a set
of wire connections on one side. On the box a sticker says "Rover Part: YWC
10073". I have opened the box and it contains a simple looking circuit.
I have looked on the Rover Parts list at;

Does anybody know what year or Mk the bonnet hinges changed and are the
early ones still available?
Thanks

1996 Mini 1275 Equinox Spi injection model <20k miles.
Its running too rich and coughs when trying to accelerate hard.
Not so noticable at low speeds.
Exhaust very black, plugs look good.

I just noticed something that worries me slightly. There is a mounting
bracket on the engine. If you look at it from the front - the screws that
keep the top of the engine fastened to the rest of it (above the
sparkplugs), the right-most fastenig screw (just to the left of the

i want a tachometer fitted to measure the RPM's. Other than the tachometer
itself what else do i need??
From wat i hear it's called a speeder cable is this right?!?!?!
And also information on how to install it.

Is there such a thing as a brake proportioning valve for a Mini?  I'm
converting to a diagonal split, and as the front brakes do most of the work
on any front wheel drive car a proportioning valve needs to be used.
