Classic mini - Mary Quant Problems starting (269 views) (269 thread views) 
Message:
The problem started about two months ago. Driving along when all of a sudden the car just cut out. Road side recovery turned up and said it was a battery problem. Next day took it too get a new one. Fixed!!

Then it wouldn't start. Took it back to the place we got the battery and they said it was a faulty connector. so got it fixed again.

Then again it wouldn't start, so took it to a specialist mini mechanics and they said it was the alternator so i got it fixed.. again!

Worked ok for like a while but now it is doing the same thing. Not starting. It ticks over but just doesn't seem to want to start. Got a mechanic out and he said it was a problem with the fuel valve and all he done was hit it a few times and it started! (confused)

But when i tried to start it yesterday it wouldn't. i tried for half hour then it eventually got going. But unfortunatly later last night it decided not to start. So im basically stuck on ideas. The car is costing me loads for a problem no one seems to know what.

Any ideas on what i should do?!

Is this a common thing with mini's? Is it because of the weather and it being really cold that it just doesn't want to start?!

any help would be greatly appreciated!

Nicola
