RIP Danny. Another hero gone.

We had a whole carp load of rain, but lucky for us the ice line was north of us. Dodged a bullet. Yep cars get older & need repairs. They are...

Well that really sucks. Sorry that happened. I would stay away from the dealer for that repair. Is there a independent muffler shop in town? I'd...

I agree those wheels really don't do that car any favors. Can you imagine trying to keep those clean. Given enough time they'll all be bent & need...

Wait until they come out with the curmudgeon edition, then snap one up. A MINI for just you. :Cigar: ;)

A MINI with a set of skinny of snow tires works great in the snow. Good fun, pull the e-brake for maximum giggles. :D

Having done that job once I will never attempt to do it again. The inside of MINI doors are lined with razor blades. My hands where quite bloody...

Since it can be reversed & original parts were saved I see no harm. I question the mod, but different strokes as they say.

I'd stay away from buying rebuilt calipers. It seems the quality of rebuilds have gone down. Rebuilding yourself is a good option if you can find...

Yes that seems like a ticking time bomb. All cars have those waiting to go boom. :eek:

I've always used that type stuff too. It was referred to as wiener slip. Sure does help on those tight insertions. ;)

You might consider picking up a booster. I have a Norco GB40 Lithium jump starter box. I picked it up on Amazon.

Get a battery tender. I have a CTEK that works well.

Yes your MINI is old & won't bring a ton of money. That being said used car prices are at historic highs & you may get more now than you think....

I clean my engines at least once a year. It really is an easy job. If you let it go the job becomes much harder. Just my 2 cents.... Not...

I salute you Minidave. That job is a real bustard. So much plastic in todays cars & it doesn't age well. I farmed it out to our local MINI guru's...

Very interesting Metalman, thanks. I was surprised at the number of top tier brands of gas. Good info on the use of fuel additives too.

It very well be the water pump making the noises you hear. The oil leaks out of it & the gears grind themselves to dust. Good luck sorting it out.

That's great, now do it 5 more times. ;)

The good old leaking Jarvic 7. There are two versions, one that is leaking & one that is about to leak. :Dead: [img]
