Just wondering if anybody could shed some light on my sons old spi Mini Cooper 1993 model. ......
It seems to run ok for a while then all of sudden it starts running realy rich and becomes pretty undrivable until you park up clean the plugs which by this time are so sooted up they wont arc a spark, sometimes it will run ok for a day or so and then bang it starts doing it again !!
Its been up to Gearald Dale mini specialists and he has changed just about everything except the ECU and has suggested sending away it to be checked which im just about to do but was wondering what the vacum conection on the bottom is all about as this was filled with fuel?
Thanx...Mark
