Rover Mini Sprite

RC40 or Maniflow?

Very nice.

Find yourself a friendly MOT garage though, pushing my 94 Sprite through emissions every year is a total pain in the arse. Does it have a CAT?

I'm not sure actually. The previous owner claimed the exhaust was standard, but I don't think it is.

I believe it does have a CAT above the heatshield.

Good plan MiniMan64

Looks like the Mini is going to be jacked up once again.

One of the jubilee clips didn't hold the heatshield in place.

Bugger.

Looks like an RC40 if the silencer box is silver, way too big bore for an O.E system, especially with the outwardly rolled tail pipe, that would have cost Rover another 50p.

Just lose the heatsheild, it's just another thing to rattle/fall off.

So it isn't that important? Even though its meant to keep the underside cool?

I don't use one on mine. No problems with it.

Don't worry, never kept one, never needed one.

The engine is playing silly buggers once again. For some reason it wants to misfire occasionally.

So its spending more time like this than it should be:





On the cards to sort out is:

Dizzy cap

Condensor

Contact Points

Air Filter

That looks very very nice enjoy

Cheers!

Managed to change the HT leads to see if it would resolve the hesitation from the throttle. All seemed well on that front, but now I've got to focus me efforts on finding out why the rad is leaking.
