A few places in adelaide. Morris Mania - Kent Town (Fullarton Rd) Mini Tech Motors - Marion (Norfolk Rd, off Marion Rd) Brickworx Racing - Pooraka (South Rd) Newport Motors - Royal Park (Out that way) Mini Sport - Lonsdale-ish (South Rd) Blair Athol Auto - Mini King - Kilburn (Churchill Rd) What suburb are you in? As for the electrical bits, replace the fuses and give that area a good cleaning. |

Nuts on side window visors? You mean the perspex side screens both sides of the windscreen? Most Mokes just have little dome headed nuts. Available at any Bunnings. Instead do you mean the tiny turn-knob fasterners for the flappy plastic side curtains? Try a boat shop or motor trimmer. They are commonly used on boat canopies and caravan annexes.

Drive it round for a while, the smoke might clear considering it has been sitting for a while. Change the oil, who knows what's in it, it could be causing the smoke. CV boots cracked... often means that the CV's are stuffed, too. If the boots are cracked, all the dirt and grime gets in and wears the CV's out, though you may be lucky. Welcome to ausmini! |
