you can get 175/50s mini owners use them a lot!

1st thing i would do is give the car a good service, decoke and get the timing (including the dizzy timing) done, at least that way the engine is at a good starting point. as mentioned sensors can play havoc on old mk3 polos! however i have never known an spi engine to have trouble with the temp sen...
