Hi

I am looking for sliding windows

I have wind up glass and mechanisms im looking to sell or trade, comes off a mk3 mini

Hey all

i'm just curious, when i had my mini she always an super hot. can a intercooler/oil cooler maybe be used like a second radiator and mounted in the front of the car? so when driving on the highway it has more efficient cooling? then maybe remove the engine fan and fit an electric fan in its place?  i heard doing that also gice you a very little more power.

Any thoughts?

I guess it's time to finally put pen to paper and share my Mini journey thus far.
 As with all things, there is a start, and the end only comes when we stop dreaming.

Here goes.

I bought the Clubby from my father in-law when they relocated down to Cape Town in 2005.
Many say that I had my eye on the Mini first, and then on their daugther, but this could never be proven!

Here she is as I got it. A very original 1982 Leylane Mini 1275E. All matching engine and bodywork numbers,
with most importantly up to date papers and fully roadworthy.





Unfortunately, as with all Mini owners, the more you tinker, surf the net and read Mini magazines, ones thoughts start to wander,
and new dreams are born. Every Mini has it's own character much like the owner, and as such the Mini is gradually brought into line
with the owners vision of their "Ultimate Mini". I too succumbed to this "addiction" and will share the transformation to date.

Im considering putting a roof rack on my mini

Anyone lese got one on?
Did anyone make one themselves?
Where did you get one?

Any info on how it actually gets fitted to the roof?

Hi Guys, 

I have heard that 7.5" discs are useless without a booster. So I was wondering how easy it would be to find a booster, what it would cost for a working example and whether it is actually necessary.

Thanks,

So last night my Wife said the Mini is leaking oil. I sail in underneath and sure as nuts it is not leaking but pissing oil. Wiped it down and noticed that it was coming from the side of the flywheel housing, not the gasket but oozing out the actual housing. Cleaned it up and noticed a small crack/hole where it was coming from. Puzzled on how a hole would get there, I drained the oil and found this stuck to the drain plug magnet.     

My guess is that it is the idler gear bearing that grenaded. Or the 1st motion shaft needle roller. I don't know which other bearing has those small rollers.

So I guess I will be pulling the engine over the weekend. Hope the damage is localized
