    Took the R53 out with the wife to look at trucks. Now that I put a new compressor on it, it decided to turn on the trifecta of brake lights!! The scanner says it’s the control unit. Ugg! If I can fix it, it will be up for sale.

    Not a fan of the auto wash either, but I’ll probably have to resort to it before the Mini Corral/IMSA Race at VIR on the 18th. I have all the Gyeon Coating supplies to do the car and wheels, but can’t afford to have my detail guy do it this month. Blew out a couple of the hard brake lines on the Suburban the other day and have to replace them all. I’ve replaced a couple sections of them before, but doing it piecemeal just hastens the next failure. Easier to replace them all, not to mention I don’t need the drama of losing brakes at 65 mph again. My grandson thought it was exciting.

    That sounds like a good time - if you like can send you some MA stickers and tag cards. LMK.

    Yes but now that I fixed the AC on it the ABS unit will need to be replaced!

    It will feel good when it quiets hurting

    I've heard it from a reliable source that R53's are ten times easier to work on so it should be a proverbial piece of cake. :D

    Successes! The left handed drill did not move it but I did drill down the middle so I used a easy out and got it out. I left the guide in so most of the small shavings from the drilling fell on the guide. I would stop every few seconds and vacuum, I didn't have enough hands to do both at the same time. Also I put grease on the drill bit so I feel sure I got most the shavings. I am going to change the oil before I crank it but I really didn't drill that deep.

    So maybe I will have a running car today!

    When I did my liner I had a mobile guy come by and do it. He got there a little after I pulled the liner it took him about 10 minutes to put the new on and I reinstalled it.

    Nothing. My MINI didn't leave the garage today -- it had a day off.

    How long ago was that?

    Most states have lost the budget for air support because of fuel cost, insurance, OT and airplane fees.
