Anyone good with older minis? Wont start.
Hope you are all enjoying the bank holiday!
So my mum as this mini on a 1992 but we can't get it started! We think it has a fuse box missing from the bay with the spade type in.
We found this plug and wondered what its for? Like i said our best guess is the fuse box?
Its been freed off in the block so it turns over now but no spark! Bypassed everything and had the fuel pump on the go but like i said just no spark.
Cheers.

Presumably you bought this as a non runner or something ?
As you seem to suggest your mum just owns it and now it wont start....when clearly there are bits missing ( unless someone has pinched them overnight ? )
Given the big rubber boot and connector style etc, it just shouts alarm.

Too many posts.. I need a life!!
if there is a massive rubber boot over the back of the wiring plug, im pretty sure it was an old laserline alarm plug, looks like someone has removed the siren and not stripped the wiring loom.
easy way to check is to put the hazards on and see if two of the wires go live with indicator flashing.

Trouble is I'm not 100% sure what I'm looking at either, just a DIY mechanic here.
Today we did just see if anything comes through with the flashers on but no joy. Just turns over but no spark... Anyone know a mini mechanic round Cambridgeshire (Ely) or anyone on here live close wanna come over and help? Not for free obviously.
