Hi folks. Last Wednesday I purchased a clean enough 2005 one d with 180000 klms on the clock. Really enjoining the mini experience. Haven't been in one since the early 80s, my mother had an original mini brown in colour!
Spent the weekend spinning about in it, down around the old head of kinsale and west cork, spend this afternoon removing the chequered roof, there was a little too much, with stripes on bonnet, chequers on the roof, quarter pannel (!) And the mirrors. Spending tomorrow washing and waxing. Can I start with a question or two, 1, there is a part in engine bay numbered ne512p or 64.12.6 918 806 its a water pump of some sort. What does it do and should it come on as soon as key is turned in ignition? 2, I'm missing a bit if trim, on the roof over the a pillar, where can I get this part? 3, And lastly, the button to the left of the big speedo, what is it for? Thanks
