Mmm quite like those wheels. Not quite sure but this looks like an MPI as the ECU is in a different position to the SPI i am working on.

Sorry the photos not great- Mpi or Spi?

 

Well....that looks like an MPi coil pack in there - but the rad is in the side so it can't be...it must be SPi...although the AC piping location is different to mine....as if these were almost added after the event.

Well :) I will have a lot of parts for sale shortly

Wheels, wheel arches, the leather seat trims & wood grain door cappings and possibly the wood dash if I don't end up painting it.

Is the a different section for selling parts.
Still trying to work out how to navigate the forum...

I also need to buy parts???

Yep...My ECU was tucked in over the AC rad, and not towards the front like that.

You may have a few bits that I'd like - I'd take the leather seats - just the panels themselves because the shipping. As I said, I do have a full set of SPi equipment and lots of other junk from a 96 SPi - I also tend to stockpile spares to use up shipping, so I do have stuff a bit close to you than the UK, if you need something.

Ok thanks,

Once I work out exactly what I need I will contact you, re the seats I am only intending to sell the leather panels as I need the frame padding...

Hope we can work something out

It's an MPi so no dizzy.

Whilst that looks like a coil pack....it has a right mounted radiator and it's from japan....and it has factory AC.....those three things say it shouldn't be an MPi....but it seems that 2000 and newer cars could have been MPi's with a side mounted radiator.

Thanks to everyone I have spoken to so far... How many members does this forum have?

[sonikk4]

Oh about 37,351 or so. Just one or two

Easy way to determine if its an SPi or MPi is by sticking you hand under the ECU.

 

If, in addition to the wiring loom coming from it, there may be a very small hose coming from the middle of the base of the ECU. if this exists, then it is an SPi.

 

And if it is an SPi, one of your more likely culprits is going to be a break in these vaccum hoses.

Thanks Wardy,

 

nice profile pic, do you have more photos?

[wardyxxx]

Happy to try and help! There will also be a sticker on the ecu....something like mne101150 would point towards an spi. Also, if you unscrew the 3 screws holding the air box on, lift it up, and underneath should have a red and a yellow hose attached to the bottom (these are vacuum hoses too). Only the spi had these.

Out of curiosity, will it run at all? Does It just stall when you come to a stop at a junction?

Cheers, yeah plenty of pictures in my rebuild thread: http://www.theminifo...tion-96-cooper/
