Has anyone got any experience of fitting and using the 123 distributor on a
Mini 998 with Stage 1. Is it a good change to make and what settings have
you found work well.
Cheers

Want to replace the standard seat for something more comfortable &
supportive, would like to go for something that tilts & slides to make it
easier for people to get into the back.  Any suggestions?

I have a K' reg, Mini Cooper 1.3i.
Its seems to idle at traffic lights at about 500rpm, and seems to chug a bit
as if its running to low.
Whats the ideal tickover rpm for this motor please...

Hi People,

Someone mentioned oiling the earth strap to increase conductivity
Does this make sense to anyone?

I am looking for a motor for my Clubby Van and found a 1098cc that looked a
pretty good buy in a magazine.  Called the bloke, spoke to him at length,
agreed on  pick-up details and, as an afterthought, asked him for the engine
number.  Mmmh.  Not the same as the number in the ad. ...

The ignition switch on our 92 open classic is getting temperamental.  We
have had a new key cut and given it a spray of wd40 but its no different,
obviously something is getting worn.  Is anything in there serviceable or do
I just get a new from.  If so any suggestions where from ...

I took the carb off my mini (1981, 998cc) the other day to give it a
bit of a service. Now I've put it back on, I can't get it to idle
properly. It runs fine and sounds great with the vacuum advance
disconnected, but as soon as I re-connect that, it cuts out. It only

I was at an Autojumble the other day and found a clean, new looking Lucas
Sports Coil DLB105 Gold for 3 pounds. Looking at the deal, it was worth a
gamble so I bought it and fitted it to the mini when I got home. All works
fine and in actual fact the car runs noticeably better.

What was or is that fleet of the new Bini in london  all the same colour
and I think with numbers on them?

I just got hold of a Parts Manual for Australian built minis and they give a
very useful break down of engine numbering codes but only for 1098cc and
1275cc engines.  Did any Australian built cars have 998's?

I was hoping that someone could recommend a possible solution to my
Rover's seeking idle problem.  First off its a European 1995 Rover Mini
with a 1.3L SPI engine.  I don't believe the MK designation is the same
here as is there but its a 5 speed with 2 dummy lights (Oil, ...
