I'd beg / borrow / buy a multimeter and check the switch then - assuming your fuses are all ok !

Have you checked the wiring inside the actual fog light as they are prone to corrosion due to water getting in?  ROJ. |

I can't do electrics. At the weekend my mini wouldn't start and all it was, was a LT lead coming out of the ignition coil. I'm useless.

Rear fog lights are crap anyway, mine only gets used for the MOT and never works from one year to the next. Should be an easy fix if you get someone with a multimeter/test light to take a look.

No Mini foglight ever works, its a myth!!!
Mine occaisonally works for an MOT.
Get a multimeter and take the swtich out, check its got 12v going to it and to the foglight. Also check the earth leads where it plugs into the loom in the boot, they can become damaged from stuff flying about in the boot.
Get yourself a Mini restoration manual for some bedtime reading and tackle the smaller jobs first to build your confidence up mate.
Minis are easy to work on and maintain once you have some know how.

well i've changed spark plugs, HT leads, Distriputor cap, Rocker Cover, wheels and bumpers. Simple stuff. Annoying when you are sitting in the pouring rain trying to put the grille back on. [glow=red,2,300] Mini first car for all[/glow]
