My 82 Mini city failed its WOF because of knackered front wheel
bearings, so I stripped the hubs off it to replace them.  In the
process, I saw that the brake pads on the left front were perished,
with cracks that ran full width of the pad, and the right hand pads

i know it sounds like a daft question but i am restoring my mini thirty le for
when i can drive and wondered how you current mini drivers cope with the
monsters of speed bumps which are the island type ones that look like they will
quite happily take out my mini's gearbox!

i am getting seriously annoyed with the influx of these posts
can they be stoped?
are they acutal people sending them or "bots"
cheers

I just bought my fourth Mini (and they all fit in the garage!) - it's a
nice 1970 Clubman, mint bodywork but someone has fitted a MG Metro Turbo
engine in it :eek!:  How could I let it go to those evil people at

not on the road, but is said to be in sound condition..... ...

I have owned a lot of cars for a lot of years and I never needed to replace
a horn on any of them. But now I need a horn for my 92 mini. Mine only
chirps and squeeks. Anyone out there have a spare? It is a simple one +
terminal.

Actually need just the part that pulls the belt in with the spring thingy...
listen... don't laugh... I don't know how it's called.
Thanks in advance,

I'm contemplating replacing my run-around motor (6 year old Renault
Megane - pls don't laugh!) with something that I actually would enjoy
driving and was wondering if a 2nd hand classic Mini is up to the
task? I know they look good and can be tuned to go fast but are they
