Hi Peter
Was reading some of your posts the other day, glad your keeping well, bit concerned your now racing a rover which isn't a mini!

My mini has been off the road for 4 months now since driving to work one morning when it just cut out.
It did drop all power for a split second on a dual carriage way but came straight back. Turned off, navigated through a roundabout (at normal speeds) and it just cut out.
Did a couple of checks and there was no spark and no fuel being pumped. Called AA he went through all the electrics and managed with bypassing to get the fuel pump working, cant remember if it was sparking now.
Anyway Vie checked the small fuse box and all the in-lines I can find with no luck.
I'm thinking it could be the main relay which mounts on the brake servo but wanted to test it before I buy one.
My poor baby is in desperate need of some lovin right now!!!!!

Does your engine have a relay sitting on top of the brake servo.
They might (hope) be a common part
