Guys, Any idea about the below part?? Did a autox and the corner staff handed over this part, saying it was from my Mini coupe.. Thanks
It looks like there is a part number stamped on the top of it. Plug that into Google and see what it returns...never seen anything like that though...
What does that mean?? Mine is a 2012 stock jcw coupe... realoem says part ended in 2008.. Does that mean, this one belongs to other car?? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk
I would contact your local dealer, as there isn't much info online about that part. I have done several suspension installs on R53 and R56s and never seen that part before. I am guessing, but it may be some sort of spacer that is placed in the springs when shipping the car here to the U.S. to limit suspension travel or damage? Again I am just guessing on that...
Sure..will definitely contact the local dealer, MAG in dublin Thanks Guys for the info Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk
Jack up your MINI and lift the dust boot for each damper... MINI puts shipping spacers in the suspension for the boat trip across the pond to reduce suspension travel... They are supposed to be removed once delivered to the customer... There should be two white spacers and one blue spacer that gets removed... Sounds like someone didn't get them all removed... Should be a simple process for you to do if you don't want the hassle of taking it back to the dealer...

If the OP bought the car new, I would take it to the selling dealer and rub their noses in it just a little. :devil: CD
See Raj, I knew you would get a quick answer here. Maybe that's why your times started dropping! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Do you reckon having the suspension fully functioning as it was engineered to function might help lap times? :biggrin5: Hoping for a good outcome. :fingerscrossed: CD
Yea...maybe that's the reason..nd the response on MA is very quick... Yes..i bought this car new, in 2014..it was 2012 model, sleeping in the showroom for 2 years..i was using the run rocks nd the suspension is very hard.. i will check the other corners for the spacers...
