Hi there i have another question. i get my mini without passenger door and now i am wondering if the doors are the same on englist and italian minis ? (i think thay are )

[Cooperman]

Doors should all be the same, but remember the difference between cars with external and internal door hinges.
You can buy nuts and bolts by mail order from Namrick Limited in the UK. They sell a 450 piece UNF set, but you might want to order some 1/4" UNC, 5/16" UNC and, for starter and clutch slave cylinder 3/8" UNC. Look at their web site.

I would just like to say, Lovely car.

Maybe someone just mounted an old 850 number plate on that 998 Cooper engine

I don't want to promote anybody, but these guys have been trying to foist off their stuff on another forum for quite a while. It really sounds like something you might need.

... so i'm looking for manual with most infos, exploded views,...  any suggestions ?

 

I would start with a factory manual if it is in the budget.  Follow that with a Haynes manual that is appropriate for the age of your car.  If it is an early car there are lots of other manuals that pop up on eBay.  

 

Frankly, I don't think you can have too many manuals.  Often they present slightly different ways of handling a task so multiple manuals can provide avid DIY people many different ways of completing the task at hand.  Read as many as you can get your hands on.
