I have a Rally Mk1 Cooper s (Just got it and all excited like when I had my first mini!)
Anyway, The indicator is not canceling and tends to blow the fuse. I believe that its the brass braid bits which are worn or mislined?.
Is there a cheap fix or do I need to by a new stork at £40 + !!
I did manage to sort it for the MOT last week but as I say its gone again.
So can you buy new insides or do you need a new one?
Maybe someone knows of an old boy who does auto electrics and may be able to fix it?
Hope to see you soon and Yes I was half asleep when I made the username MK2 cooper s. I have requested to change this.

i bought some windows off a member and they had http://www.colchesterminiclub.co.uk vinyls, so i thought "hey why not" saves removing the text.

i lived in lexden colchester til about 9 years ago, now live in Basildon so i haven't had the opportunity to attend any club meets as of yet, but since my project is only just on the road hopefully you will see me in the upcoming months,

My mini is like marmite, you either love it or hate it, regardless though it raises smiles,

origionally a 1982 998cc city, in faded matt blue paint with vinyl and tartan highly soiled interior hmmmmmmm...... nice

5 years later, a lot of welding, spraying, dismantling and cursing in the few hours of spare time i get! it is now a shadow of its former self,

ive done all the work myself, learning as i went, its not a concorse show winner, but it is a good laugh.

features include:

unique airbrush real flame paint job

1275 clubman GT A series of relatively unknown spec

quickshift

HIF 44

stage 1

loads of chrome and shiny bits

cooper s discs

rolling on 10's

Alfa romeo momo interior
(or luxury italian red leather furnishings as i like to call it)

if you see me about in colchester or surrounding areas (or broken down on the A12) give us a hoot.

some pics for your dis/aproval*

20. I can't reach my license unless you hold my beer.

19. Sorry officer, I didn't realize my radar detector wasn't plugged in.

18. Aren't you the guy from the villiage people?

17. Hey, you must have been doing 125 to keep up with me, good job.

16. I thought you had to be in relatively good physical shape to be a police officer.

15. I was going to be a cop, but I decided to finish high school instead.

14. Bad cop. No donut.

13. You're not going to check the trunk, are you?

12. Gee, that gut sure doesn't inspire confidence.

11. Didn't I see you get your butt kicked on cops?

10. Is it true that people become cops because they are too dumb to work at McDonalds?

9. I pay your salary

8. So uh, you on the take or what?

7. Gee officer, that's terrific. The last officer only gave me a warning.

6. Do you know why you pulled me over? Okay, just so one of us does.

5. I was trying to keep up with traffic. Yes, I know there is no other cars around, that's how far they are ahead of me.

4. What do you mean have I been drinking? You are the trained specialist.

3. Well, when I reached down to pick up my bag of crack, my gun fell off of my lap and got lodged between the brake and the gas pedal, forcing me to speed out of control.

2. Hey, is that a 9mm? That's nothing compared to this 44 magnum.

1. Hey, can you give me another one of those full cavity searches?]]>
