hi all, just a quick one.

what coil would i need for a standard 1987 998cc mini?

link me one to minispares and i'll be eternally grateful.

If you look at the original, has it got a pink wire with white tracer going to it? if it has you need a ballest coil, if not, then non-ballest.

Well there are these: -

Uprated type from Lumenition: -

I'd still check with Mini Spares on suitability though.

Do not use that Lumenition ballasted coil with the ballast that is built into your wiring harness. It must be used with the special Lumenition ballast which means re-wiring your car slightly.

Your car is ballasted.

Makes you wonder why Mini Spares supply it then?

[Dan]

They also supply K&N filters, we all know that using one will affect the fuelling and fit a new needle to compensate. If it's not a standard part why assume it fits like a standard part?

[taffy1967]

True, but a little extra information wouldn't go amiss perhaps?

now now guys. minispares are brilliant.

thank you for your help.
