[Tango1300]

Hi everyone my names Sian and i live in Surrey, I have been around mini's all my life and have owned 3 mini's in 3 years of driving.

I now only own one (shortly two) it is called Tango as it is orange and i brought it with a 1300 lump in it, apart from that it was standard. I have added 6/13 Ultralights, group 5 arches and center exhaust, still adding parts.

Tango is going to be resprayed in the summer not sure on the colour yet.

Only a few propblems with it like it keep blowing fuses, the wipers went last night and this morning the idicaters went to. Any ideas???

Look forward to talking to you all

Any ideas would be good!

A short circuit perhaps? Check the wires for fraying. If u have a lot of spotlights or big sound systems sometimes it can cause the wiring to burn out.

Are u using the correct fuse rating? And check the haynes manual to see the correct colour coding for the wires on the fuse box.

Fuse ratings, make sure they are of good quality (not cheap ones)


Fuse between 1&2 -- stoplights, reversing lights, indicator flasher unit, heated rear window. Only working when key switch is on position II.

Fuse between 3&4 -- horn, hazard indicators, and brake failure light. These work all the time.

Fuse between 5&6 -- heater/wipers - these work on position I or II

Fuse between 7&8 -- side and taillights work all the time.



plus two line fuses above the air cleaner

Hazard warning and interior lamp (8/15amp) Brown and purple/Orange wiring

Rear fog (5/10amp) Blue and Blue/Orange wiring
