my girlfriend has a 97 twinpoint mpi rover mini cooper and the drive belt has broken. we will be going to edinburgh in a week, flying to glasgow and driving to edinburgh.

is there any recommendable stores for classic minis in that area?

please move this thread if it was posted in the wrong forum.

I know a few on the outskirts of Edinburgh, Boab on here will know the Glasgow side better, where exactly will you be so we can give you the closest place?

i dont remember exactly where we will be staying, but as we will be renting a car it wont be a problem if the store isnt close by. if there is some of them more worth visiting than the others we can drive a little extra for that.

looking forward to the millitary tattoo

The tattoo is great and your hitting at festival time so will br great atmosphere. On the Edinburgh side there is Macdonaldminis

Most autoparts stores in glasgow or edinburgh should be able to sort you out with a drive belt for a mini, you dont necessarily need a mini specialist.

thanks alot for the links caramillar too bad we wont be coming in her car, then we could have a minimeet

itscomealongway: im sure most partdealers have that sort of stuff, but im sure my GF will find more stuff to buy at a mini specialist

Guess you're not in the UK then?

[kammiz]

omg, didnt mention that.. we're norwegians and live in oslo

this is the car by the way

[CaraMillar]

nice

[itscomealongway]

Well why don't you do what most glaswegians do, bypass the mini store and just go about stealing the bits you like

[kammiz]

glaswegians?

[kammiz]

we're now back from scotland and had a good time. we went to miniworks, but struggled to find the shop, it was a bit more of a garage than a shop than what we was looking for. but the owner was a nice bloke and my to-be father in law got to talk to a guy that ran a mini-shop he used when he was young and lived in edinburgh. all in all a good trip and my GF got some parts-catalogs

edit: and i know now that glaswegians are people from glasgow. although glasgowians would be a better word IMO
