I've got a catalogue in the back of my car, and it's been in those since l2b where they were being handed out

You need an AKM2 as well as the accessory catalogue really. Mine still has a few pages attached to the spine, not many though.

Well it looks like I'll be giving Simon a PM in the morning for a catalogue. It's always nice to have a proper book to flick through when it's too much effort to actually go online and search for a part. Especially as I live so far away from any Minispares branch (I think there should be one down sarf!).
Dan, is that the one that shows all the individual parts and where they go on the car? Like on their website? I would love a paper version of that, though, if I tried to print it all, I think my printer would explode... And then run out of ink

Yes it's the parts catalogue. The SC Parts one is massive and the most complete though.

Can you buy these from anywhere? I need one of these to go with my Haynes manual.

Yes, all the specialists have catalogues I think. Also I believe the original Rover 'fiche is on the BMH CD Rom.

In the past 10 years I have ordered 2 different parts from SC on 2 different occasions on Ebay. Neither turned up and SC did not respond to emails so I had to get refunds through Paypal. I put the first occasion down to bad luck; the second time I figured they are just rubbish. I have been using Minispares since the Enfield Mini shop closed and have never had any problems.

I had the same experience ordering from their website...
Two orders, neither ever dispatched or reason given...
They keep sending me 'special offers' by e-mail - I keep replying "how about sending out the goods I ordered first?"

I never use any supplier other than Minispares now. I've had nothing but good experience from them and from what I've read, nearly every other supplier seems to have troubles.
Simon, will the AKM2 be available to buy after the reprint? If so, I will definitely have one.

If requested, we send out full catalogues free with orders. We'd get through several thousand a week putting them in every order, plus people that order regularly would be inundated with them
Maybe you could include a tick box when ordering like "send me a catalogue"?
I've got your-mini-spares-catalogue-2012.pdf which is 88 pages and 32.4mb. I printed it at work one day before I realised it had so many pages...
