    Need some help on a repair, torque specs, speaker removal, spark plug change, OEM fluid type or just how to change a burnt out bulb? Instead of paying for a subscription service or tracking down an auto repair manual just post your MINI repair issue or how-to request here and I'll do my best to answer ASAP. All years and models of the BMW MINI are included.:Thumbsup:

    Cheers,
    Chad

    Any idea on the specs (size, taper, thread) of the outer ball joints of the R55/56 front balljoints? Is that shared or do they just tell you to buy a new one complete with the carrier?

    Thanks. I sorta figured there wouldn't be any specs, but it was worth a shot.

    I appreciate the PDF:D

    My apologies if the info I need is posted elsewhere, but anyhow...
    I am seeking the part number and installation paper for the auxiliary input cable that plugs into the changer/nav/xm connector on the back of my stereo.
    I have an 03 MCS with the stock head unit, no changer, no nav, no pool, no pets.
    My goal is to connect an iPhone with that LiquidAux gizmo, but I would be interested in any other suggestions that do not involve duct tape.

    Are there any pages that detail how to remove/reinstall the exhaust system? (Cooper S) I'd like to see the diagrams/info on how the hangers are bolted into the car. I think mine are coming loose and I want to see if there's anything special that has to be done when tightening those nuts.
