Welcome to the friendly MINI site. Post up some pictures in your Garage and let's get motoring :biggrin5:

 

I'm a new member. Got here through Google search on brake pads. Found a very good link on replacement which required membership. My 2007 has run out of the free maintenance period and hope to do my own regular maintenance to save $. Last oil change at MINI dealer cost $165 (ouch!).
I work in the auto industry and hope to contribute to this club.

 

Welcome aboard.

I found this site while I was googling some part numbers regarding the underfloor coating of my R56 cooper S and since I mentioned this, maybe somebody could help me with this matter. Basically I found that my car under the engine has no protection plates and I believe these are the part numbers 51752755791 and 51752755792. It has the underfloor coating that starts behind the front wheels and ends at the back of the car, but under the engine there is no coating, hope that somebody can shed some light on this.

Thanks!

Always use a MINI OEM oil filter.

 

Hello Chuck!

Many thanks for taking time to reply, so the part numbers in my post are for the rear part then and it is normal that my car is naked under the engine?

I have the impression that under my car there is only two plates the ones that run behind the front wheels until the rear wheels and on either side of the exhaust pipe, I am not sure I see anywhere the two parts that I mentioned in my first post, tomorrow I will take a picture and send it to you, maybe you can tell me if I am missing something.

Thanks,

Andreas.

 

No problem....

I did not find M/A, M/A "Nathan" found me at the Dragon a few years ago. He was handing out cards for M/A which was not on-line yet but he had me sold when he said "Its a site for MIN enthusiast and people who are sick of then NAM"

 

I think I had the same thing happen

I found the site due to my obsession with buying my first Mini! Love these cars like crazy! Did a Google search for "Mini forums" and up popped the Alliance.

 

Hi,
Joining to sell my Mini used winter tires with rims.
