I've just heard about the lincoln mini centre from a mate of my dads who saw it. Wondering if anyone knows where it is exactly and if they sell parts, or is it just minis they sell ?
Fancy a run up today


Cheers

Its the one in Hykeham, down a little lane called Nash Lane just off Moor Lane (past North Kesteven School). Google it and you'll get the postcode. It's run by a guy called Dave Shepherd. I called him last week and the phone number was no longer in service. Sounds like he may not be operating anymore. If you're going to pop down let me know if he's still there.

I've used him for 10 yrs+ - very good but not known them to sell Minis but he used to put up for sale adverts for people. If you're after parts you could try Rimmerbros up the hill in Bracebridge, but often not as competitive as the other main mini spares places.

Are you after a Mini then? I'm in Lincoln and may be persauded to part with mine...

ahhh right, i'll keep digging, he must still be going because it was only a week or two my dads mate passed the place and saw lots of minis on the front. I'm after parts, but cba to pay £10 postage for a few little bits when i paid £7.50 for sills and floors etc from another place, plus you have the bits straight away. I'm after parts, 2 minis is enough for now lol. unless anyone has anything cheap lol.
I find rimmer bros are a rip off!! lol

I'm not sure if he keeps parts/spares - whenever he's worked on mine, he's ordered all the parts for the job.

What you after ? Theres mini classics at Blyth but i only use them if i'm stuck !

[mini_legend]

They expensive then ?? lol ummm probably just gonna order em online, but its stuff like brake hoses, gaskets, rad hoses etc

[miniman retford]

Think they just make some prices up lol, but they keep new & second hand stuff, give them a call 01909591065.

Thought you could have got those from any motor factors ?

Good one in Retford is Parkers 01777701111 just mention my name

[mini_legend]

Seems no1 has them, not at a price I want to pay. You walk into motosave or halfords, they ask if they can help and you think to yourself, ummm probably not haha. Other day asked for a HS4 carb gasket in halfords and the lad said, what is a carb, isn't it something to do with water!! lol.
Might give em a call, or just order online, cba to drive, plus my mini broke Radiator bottom hoses appears to have split, so the cloud of steam on my way home indicates !!! SH!t lol sod of a job to do
And I want a good price on stuff nige, probably be best to deny any knowledge of you ???
