Hello. I have a few problems on my car but have already mentioned the over heating. The latest one is when i turn the key to start it and let it go the car switches off completely no lights no petrol pump nothing. if you hold the key when you turn the key it stays on. Its frequent as of late.

The engine? or car jerks if you put petrol down fast when you drive we put new engine mountings on not long ago. 

Is there anyone i can take the car to who can do an over all check and tell me the major problems? At the rate i'm going i think i bought someones problems.

Hi, my 998 has a seized cylinder (water got in?) and would like to know of an engineering works close to me?

Howzit guys

I'm a student looking for an old bullnose mini with a 1275 engine. Since I was a little kid I've always wanted a classic mini to do up myself. I do a lot of DIY stuff and love solving mechanical problems and i think now is the time for me to bight the bullet and do it.

I dint mind a mini with engine issuesa, light rust to okayish to easily managble rust or easy to find missing parts.

I would prefer a car that is in or near the eastern cape area and that hasn't been scraped.

Please let me know if you have or know of anyone selling.

Some yester-years i had a mini rebel and did the Toyota twincam 20v conversion at Miniworkshop. One saturday evening i had an accident. After i bought the car back from the insurer i decided that i will build another one but now Twincam 16V turbo.
I then bought a Clubman Estate body to do the build.

Here is a break down of the main components on the car..

Mazda 13B Rotary turbo
Spitronics EFI System - ( replaced the old system )
Copper button clutch 
12A rotary gear box
Angelic Diff at the back

New tyres all round , 175/65/13 in front and 205/60/13 at the back

Complete interior redone as well , roof , doors , flooring , back section , seats , new window rubbers, and sound in the doors.

Honesty
It needs the 50mm wheel fenders ( struggling to find ) to finish the look off.
It is a project so there will be some work to be done , however it turns heads and people love it :-)
Wheel alignment needs to be corrected.
Rotary is loud and the exhaust is currently coming out the back front wheel.
