Your telling me. I just had my wife car serviced and ceramic coated (3k) and she doesn't drive anymore. Now it's parked with it's cover on it. She has dementia so I don't let her drive. Getting old is b----ch.
Well it was an eventful morning! My wife left at 6AM to drive to Nashville to do a Mud Run with my oldest daughter who lives there. I got a call about 20min later she was very upset. Getting on the interstate her Mini started running ruff. She pulled over and called and said the CE light was on. I told her it was in limp mode to go to the next exit and I would meet her there. I got there and gave her my truck and limped her Mini home. Just her luck a coil pack went out, bad timing. Anyway I just replaced all 4 coils and plugs and it is running like a top agin. Her R57 has 98k on it but looks and runs like new inside and out and drives like new.
The up side is I drove the Helmet to get the parts. I had to go to the main NAPA store. I have been looking for 20 gauge wires to pin the ECU in the Exige today but could not find any. I had checked NAPA's web sight and they did not show any. Well while waiting on my parts to come down I asked and it turned out they had several colors. Great! Now her car is fixed and maybe I can at least get the Lotus ready to start.
Side note, on the way home at a red light across the intersection I saw a pepper white coupe! I almost never see one here. I gave him a wave(remember the mini wave?) and got a wave back.
I think that is probably what happened to the second one. On all the other minis the amp is in the boot. On the coupe it is under the drivers seat. The cabin gets very hot in the simmer compared to the boot. I believe the heat is killing them.
Thanks for the link
