Just a note on ignition coils. Itbis getting increasingly harderbto get tge correct coils for our Minis. The spares shops sell two coils. One is supposedly for electronic ignition and the other for points. They both have very low primary resistance of less than 1.5 Ohm. The Mini requires a coil with primary resistance between 2.5 and 3 ohm. If you use the wrong coil, you will burn points and if you have the electronic module fitted, you will probably blow that as well.
I found a locally manufactured coil, blueish green in colour that has 2.5ohm resistance which works well with points and electronic module. Surprisingly it has the same part no as the lucas and Huco coils.
I suggest you take a multimeter with when you buy a coil. Both Lucas and Huco was too low. Haven't tried Bosch.
