I've read several other threads regarding minis bogging down/misfiring/generally going nuts in the rain. Now from what i can gather people generally say squirt a bit of WD into the dizzy cap and problem should be solved. I took the mini out for the first time in very light rain a few days ago and with in 3 or 4 minutes i couldn't get over 30mph and even getting there was a push. Pulled over, got the WD, popped off the dizzy cap and its completely dry, though i gave it a squirt just in case. Put it back on and tried again. Same issue.
Now the engine sounds fine idling, revs fine, but as soon as you try and drive you get the above symptoms. If it's not the dizzy getting wet whats my next option to check when it happens again + a fix to get going again? I do have a weather guard which i'll be fitting tonight when i get the car back from an oil leak being sorted, but i'll be driving 250miles with the risk of getting caught out by showers on the way.
You're talking to an idiot so please explain as if i just wrote this message with a crayon.
Cheers
