New clutch, radiator, fan resister, front sway bar bushings and steering rack bushing, map sensors and O2. Found a vacuum leak. So maintenance really. Under load around 3k rpm it was sputtering so definitely map sensor mixed with that vacuum leak.... I'm sure we got the culprit. Nice Dave. Lol.
Traded it! I never did fall in love with my 2014 JCW Paceman All4. I took it in for an oil change and brake fluid flush yesterday and drove home in a 2015 F55. Driving is fun again!
Thanks, Nathan! I kind of hated going with a 4-door; but I have two beautiful grandsons living nearby, and the 3 year old is getting harder to load into the car seat with only two doors. This thing scoots nearly as well as my '09 JCW hardtop did, and still has SOME practicality. lol!
Um yes. Large shop. Mainly does performance trucks tractors and semis. But this mechanic is by far the best I've used. He actually reads up on minis through forums and is very much in the know with what to do and how to do it. We also use Jan and Collin for questions.
Nah, there will be a provision for a drive on mower deck. The mudder type tires are gonna be loud on the highway though.
It's Earth Day. Drive your MINI. I stopped in at Starbucks with my own cup, and got a free cup of coffee.
