There is a guy on tonight's 'The chase' who is restoring a Mini cooper and wants the prize money to pay for it.

I bought another Mini so it had to go into storage as garage space isn't great at mine

My fob is new, board is new, battery is new. Only thing that's left is earth as it is a little corroded

Remove the earth cable and clean the area. before you put it back had a little Vaseline or something along those longs, to help keep the earth clean and rust free.

A dodgey earth seems to be the cause of all problems, so id say yes :)

what size wheels would a standard 1994 Mini Cooper SPi have? would they be 12"? mine has 12" ultralites and hoping they are the same/equivalent of what it would have fitted as standard?

My 93 has 12s and I can't imagine prev owner changed it up. 13's were '96-on I think.

OK cool. Well the minilites/ultralites etc... Are all very similar anyway. Just gonna get some cooper wheel centres and be done! Cheers guys

Just timed my Clubman at 11.8 seconds to 60 using my dash stopwatches and a gps - 998 with heavily modded head, twin HS2, freeflow and rim-flo valves - is this good? Got no references except the old 0-60 which was like 18 seconds :D
