You got a nice ride man. Congrats on the new purchase.

Congratulations mate!! Join the Mighty Mini Club for more excitement.

Tunning EFI system involves nothing but cleaning and checking the fuel system and electrical components.. You can get it done from your nearby MINI specialist (Anuruddha-Kotte, Lucky-Kotte, Ranil-Kadawatha, Saman-Mirihana, Ajith-Seeduwa, Chamara-Katana, Siril’s son-Maharagama)

Thanks Guys ... Maharagama is the closest place. Can i have Saman's number? Engine is perfect even after about 4 days i start it in the morning it starts like a new japanese vehicle. I want to tune it as i think it only does about 10 kmpl.... There is a beat as well though.

Great first car.

Join the Mighty Mini Club. They are a fun bunch - details on the net I think or Miniace..

Am actually taking a friends EFI Mini Moke for the weekend ......

By the way is that a Ford in the background? If so I think you should also join the Mazda Ford Owners club ........

cheers and congrats.

Saman - 0777551914.

If it is 1.3 SPI automatic, then 10km/l is the average. it'll be 14 km/l if 1.3 SPI manual transmission. these are with A/C city running as per my experience.

Manufacturer has recommended 94 RON, but I switched to IOC Extra Premium after Cypetco price increase. I hardly feel any difference between Ceypetco 95 and IOC Extra Premium in my Mini.

Original body, Engine was kept later. This was 8.5. I was eying a Doctor Sunny but wth, It's a little piece of British motoring history and it's a lot more fun to drive:)

You're lucky to get a 36 year old car with such a marvelous body condition, mate. However 8.5 lakhs is little bit high I guess. Is it Austin or Morris?

Hmm ....are you sure mate :rolleyes: ...? Just check again.

Congrats on ur new ride machan .......... !

Well, Thats what the owner told me. This car has two owners. And the owners are two brothers. Initially he asked for 1 mil, Then he dropped.

Some faults i think is thay the lights seems to be a but dimmed. This has a 55amp battery. Also every morning i have put in a little but of water to the radiator. However i cant get it to pickup faster than the Ford:(

EDIT: This is Austin
