    The Allen Bolt that keeps the driving light steady to its position not allowing it to fall down (red arrow) isn't able to twist and tighten securely in order to hold the light not to fall down. What parts must i order so i can fix it so that it will tighten again?

    I would but the car is my daily transit car and I'm afraid to take it apart cause if I won't be able to fix it on time I don't know how I'll patch up the light in order to drive around.

    The headlights don't work?

    You can't wrap the wires with some electrical tape to keep them safe till the next day. It's not like the lights make the car go, or has austerity in Greece removed the light from the sky?

    Please smash your MINI into a wall. JFC if you can't take it apart your self take it to someone that can.

    Time to trade it in on an F56. I hear they are all the rage in You-rope.

    Try some green loctite. It can be added to already tightened fasteners and may help. You'll only out a few bucks and a few minutes.
