Put a BBQ and a case of beer or two and you'll have a Great Day

hey there im a new mini owner bought mine couple of days ago its got the 998 motor and its been overheating. I put in a new thermostat and flushed the radiator no change. there are no leaks I can see either. would someone be able to tell me how to check the water pump and what else it could be. The car also misses and has a few dead spots when I got it 3 days ago it drove fine but was just overheating. I put in a new distributor cap and spark plugs still same thing will this car need tunning but it was fine 2 days ago. what should I check for these dead spots and miss firing. any help will be appreciated thanks guys. |

As doogie said, check your timing. It will cause it to miss and overheat. RYan |

where abouts are you located? you'd be best off taking it to a mechanic I believe.. or at least buy/download a haynes mini manual which will step you through the basics.. |

Micky, if your new to minis it might pay to get someone who knows what there doing to give it a once over, check the timing, tappets, set the points etc etc. I'd recommend Greig @ Mini Classic @ Ermington 98747211 or Tony @ Minispares @ Padstow 97743366 It won't cost you a lot of money for a tune up.

definitely take it to a mini expert to get everything set up properly, then if you want to play, you have a good starting point to work from - any changes you do right now will be just stabs in the dark fill in your location, and we'll be able to recommend where to take it |
