I have just brought my first Mini, Im now the proud owner of a 1996 Rover Mini Sidewalk 44,000 and i paid £1250 which i think is a good deal as she's in fairly good condition.
Had the joy of driving her for 4 hours solid from Middlesborough to Surrey yesterday so much fun ;-D However today the ball joint gave way :-( still thats life i guess, Anyways i love my new Mini however being a complete Mini Noob have a few questions:
- My Mini came with key fob for the immobiliser, It has two buttons on it, i haven't been able to figure out what the second button does, when i push it the LED on the dash goes crazy and i some how trigger the alarm. Any Ideas?
- The Mini came with a number of keys one for the doors and bonnet, one for the Petrol cap and one for the ignition. What i was wondering was does anyone know if you can purchase a petrol cap with the same locking barrel as the doors?
- I plan on installing an Amp to power two speaker and also would like to install 4 spot lights on the front of the grill, Can someone tell me will i require an uprated battery and/or an alternator.
- In regards to the spot lights, can someone tell me are these lights used as your high beams, main beams or as fog lights?
- Im not a huge fan of the interior and will at some point replace it for something a little more to my taste, Could anyone tell how much i might be able to sell a complete sidewalk interior for (Door Cards, Steering wheel, Seats, Boot lining, seat belts etc).
Any help would be great guys.
Thanks
