    Help. Anybody know an easy way to replace the boots on the intercooler? I have done it before but I'm not as strong as I use to be.

    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

    Ernesto...
    Do you prefer the MINI branded oil? I noticed this was used on the other MINI as well....

    BTW..... I can't get out of my head the mental image of you and the gear shift knob you posted 10+ years?? ago... The same knob in your sig.....:eek:

    Does anyone have the Greene Performance GP coolant tank? Still have a few preventative measures I am taking and replacing the radiator cap is on the list, just not sure what the correct one would be.

    Thanks..
    I dont have any real strong preference for oil as long as it is a good synthetic.

    The MINI branded oil at one of our local dealers with a club discount was about the same price as other oils so I picked up a case for the two cars last year.. it may be my last time since one of the dealers has said they only do 0w30 recommended for the newer MINIS.

    Good memory on the photo, it was from 2009.
    Just showing off the custom Whalen shift knob on a cold day. I tend to re-post it mid-winter.
    Still love that pic and still love the shift knob every time I drive the car!
