The wiring for mine was pretty simple, just cut off the side light and use good bullet connection (not the crappy ones supplied) and wire on the new one.
The hardest part for me was putting the light back on with the fiddley screws!

the back of it (the circuit board thing at the back of the clocks) isn't very nice to look at - a few of them have burnt out and arent connected anymore, one being my dash light one :(

You can replace just the circuit board. You don't need to replace the whole set of clocks.

Not the cheapest option but an option http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Classic-Mini-printed-circuit-board-for-2-3-clock-dashes-/140993935976?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item20d3e4ba68#ht_604wt_1161

The ciruit board on the clocks in my other mini did the same and I just soldered wires across the broken bits. Worth a go. If you screw it up you will just have to replac...

Broken shocks wouldn't cause a mini to sit lopsided. They don't support any of the vehicles weight. Assuming your tyres are all pumped up then I would inspect all your knuckles and then next would be the rubber cones.

Impressive! Did you keep to low rpm too or were you driving normally?

Grimshaw17

Low rpm when ever I could, seem to be having mixture problems as well. So will get it sorted tonight (hopefully)
Sep 16 2013 06:31 AM

Still just as impressive! I've broken two on my other car, due to the distributor shaft developing play and the arm hitting the cap :(
