83C Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 A couple of months ago I went to Shropshire and retrieved a Mini Cooper for Mrs 83C. The plan was to fix it up and for her to use it, but time has conspired against repairing it. It’s a 2002 Cooper in Yellow, standard bits including central locking, leccy windows and alloys. The issues: the gearbox makes a clicking noise in 1st gear, otherwise it drives well. The Body Control Module has failed due to water ingress (TADTS), replacements can be had for £50. An exhaust rubber has perished somewhere, causing a clonk from underneath over speed bumps. The good - it has test until late September, still drives (I drove it back from Shropshire), and the body is fairly clean now I’ve removed all the tar spots. Pictures: Shiters’ price - £425, collection from TR4 9PU EDIT: The spare gearbox has sold separately, so this is now £300! Come and get a mahoosive barg! SOLD!!!! Conrad D.

Craig the Princess Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Have a bump. These really do look quite nice now, especially given the gopping nature of the current Mini range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Reverend Bluejeans Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 I might sound thick, but what's a Body Control Module? Central locking, wipers and windows. All in one box. DeeJay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
83C Posted June 11, 2018 Author Share Posted June 11, 2018 Central locking, wipers and windows. All in one box.And the lights. No indicators, headlamps stay on dipped beam, tail-lights on. Basically running in a lighting version of limp mode. Brake lights work independently of the BCM though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
