    Didn't do a thing with either Mini the last few days. But, I did, however, pay to have the wife's 525 towed to get the water pump, thermostat and coolant tank replaced.

    Nuth'n like a nice little trip to the coast to lighten the load in my back pocket.

    Today I took my car out of the garage and washed it.
    Then I put it back in the garage.

    Maybe this weekend I will replace my failed tensioner and put on a new idler and new belt.

    What kind of 1911-22 do you have? One of my favorite plinkers is my Colt 1911 with a Colt Ace Conversion Kit on it. Now, to keep from too much thread drift... I drove my Mini to my daughters range to shoot my little .22. :cornut:

    My passenger side window stopped working last week so I finally found some time to look and see if I could fix it without ripping anything apart or costing me a lot of money.

    It is fixed :biggrin5:

    Posted my findings here here so you guys don't have to look for it on "the other" site.

    That's how the early mounts fail. Over time, they compress & shrink under engine load that's why MINI revised it to one that leaks.:mad2:

    I drove to work listening to a repeat of Howard Stern with George Takei while wearing my kilt. People at work seem to be getting a kick out of it.
