Anybody can help recommend a good mini mechanic. I have the 1.3 fuel
injected auto mini engine. Rover engine (1990 - 1996).

Recomendations anyone? or whomever has the same mini engine can share
experiences?

Dear ruzz1,

What you have there is SPI engine between year 1992 to 1996 using MEMS
ecu. What are the problems that you are currently facing? Perhaps I might
be of help as I have some knowledge of the SPI engine. The ecu cannot be
diagnose by any standard OBD tool as it has a 3 pin connector. Try Land
Rover authorise agent, perhaps they might have taken over the Rover tools
from the last distributor.

There are some Mini specialist in the market but most of them is not into
injection system and would recommended that you convert it into cab
system. Let me know your problem and perhaps I can guide you to those that
might be of help to you.

Hey guys. Ive got a problem with an over heating radiator. Ive just
upgraded my mini engine to a 1.3 from an 850 so i would only think it
would only be normal for a radiator upgrade. Any comments on if i do have
to change and also what type should i look for?


Regards
niwla

Guys.. I have a 1979 Mini Clubman and I am thinking of getting a new
paint job for it and an aircond. I am looking for a real reliable guy
that can do the job. Any suggestions?
