How did you fix the waxstat? I like the method of replacing the wax capsule with pennies.

Has your girlfriend, umm, got a little problem?

It looks great, I hope you enjoy many miles and smiles with it

IIRC about 3500 of them were made, so they're not that rare.

For some reason the mid 80s minis, especially the 25s loved to rust
I would say it is rare

- lights, indicators etc all made to work by fiddling with the fusebox
- new flasher unit for hazards, so they work again
- new temp sender

I'd advise you not to buy a new flasher unit for the hazards as the new ones of this sort of thing can be very poorly made, clean up and protect the switch, all connections, all wiring, (all earths) and the flasher unit

just rocking the hazard switch on and off repeatedly (fuse out) might getting it working, same as repeatedly removing and replacing the connectors might be enough to clean them up but do clean them properly after and protect them with electrical contact grease and make sure the connections and wires are secure

if after all you do need a new unit I'd get a working s/h one or go electronic

clean and protect the sender unit and its connectors and wires and gauge end

to keep things like hazards, horns, wiper motor, blower motor going just test or use them regularly, very ease to do if you use the car regularly

I'd clean and check all wires from the battery forward, including fuse box and connections and fuses, you can do it all in stages, as required, in between driving and enjoying the car

good luck
