Should be mate was working fine yesterday. Dumb question but does an MPi have a solenoid?

Solenoid sits piggy back on the starter, it's known as a pre-engaged starter

Question folks. Is this a good deal and what's peoples views on it? Anyone own this set at all? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/130704410654?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 Many thanks!

Looks ok for the money Max. The jack looks similar to my Clarke Strong Arm 3 tonne jack. Be aware that you may struggle to get it under your mini due to the height of the jack when lowered. I bought my Clarke one to use under our VW camper, it won't go under any of our minis. The axle stands will be fine, I reckon.

minimaxie
Ah okay so i need a slimmer one then perhaps? Thanks for the link too Paul. Well Charlie I do have lots of gold bullion bars in the boot lol. Basically dont need a 3 tonne one then, better to have more than not enough I thought

Hmmm VERY much comtemplating purchasing a Quicksilver exhaust system (cat back) for the Mini, they sound lovely! Does anyone have that system fitted? How well do they perform?
