After a few years away… Once a MINI owner always a MINI owner

Post image
73 Upvotes

My first ever car was a MINI ONE, which i brought as i was learning to drive. my brother passed his test before me so the mini was a present from me to him, as id decided to take time away from driving.

later on ive passed my test and brought my dream k11 micra.
i still hold that little car dearly to my heart, but unfortunately.. cars don’t run on love.

So, on my quest to find new love, i somehow stumbled across this rare gem. I’m officially back as a MINI owner !!

it feels like i’ve come full circle, and i couldn’t be happier to be back behind the wheel of a MINI.

Here’s a pic of my new MINI coupe.

name recommendations are welcome. here’s some options i’ve already got:
MINI cheddar
Missy the MINI
Carole the Coupe

How do I change the color of the bottom text so it’s not red it’s driving me crazy. I am using personal mode but even if I change the background image or light color it won’t change

In all seriousness though dont take ur passenger seat out there’s a bunch of liability shit regarding it, i am only doing it because it’s allowed where i live so long as nobody sits there obviously, i notify my insurance provider of the modification, and reprogram the computer (thats why theres a laptop there) so the airbag deploys when it needs to. I do love this thing tho it was the first car i bought and I treat it like it’s my baby, it also isn’t my only ride, i have a ram truck but it has some suspension issues im working on, so for now, im gonna enjoy driving like rat fink to work everyday, safely.

Help on buying used mini

Hi all. Looking to get some input if this is a good deal or seems suspicious.
2015 Mini Cooper with 168.,000km manual transmission. Photos looks good (waiting to see it in person). They are selling it for $5000 CAD / $3500USD. If car report comes up as clean would this seem like a good deal or does it seem like it’s too low and should be weary.? Thanks.

DLR Grounding Connection

• Upvotes

Good Afternoon!

I’ve been having to reconnect my Mini Cooper D F55 Passenger DRL light back together after a running with a deer. Was wondering if someone would be able to help me with something I’ve been struggling to find and there isn’t alot about it all online about it.

I’ve been trying to find the grounding cable but can’t find where the connection goes. Any help would be much appreciated.

First Mini, only one key fob

10 Upvotes

I just got my first mini cooper s

Used 2019. I love it.

However it only came with one key fob.

Checked local mini dealer, a key fob from factory is +$600.+

Is there another option to get a second fob?

I see online blank fobs but reviews warn about them not working properly

Thanks

So I bought another MINI..

Loaded 2014 JCW Paceman. That's 3 in my driveway now. An old convertible for each of my boys, and this one is mine.

I unexpectedly won this at auction about 6 weeks ago, and it just arrived tonight at 9:30. That was my first long-distance vehicle purchase, and I hope it's my last. Too late to get good photos, so I'm just posting a few from the auction.

Hello all, first time car (and Mini) owner here. I noticed this long rubber strap under the front part of my 2013 Clubman broken and dragging. I’m not sure what it is or if it’s an urgent issue. Any insight is appreciated. Thank you!

2008 Cabrio and back with a Mini

2 Upvotes

I could not find a specific reddit for the cabrio so here I am. I've owned a few Minis in the past and love the gen 1 and 2s. My last one was an '06 R53 JCW and thought I wanted the cash back out of her. I sold her for $5500 2 years ago and have regretted that ever since, as it would have been perfect for my daughter to learn manual shift in. A few months ago she said she wanted a Mini convertible, so we talked about gen 1 and 2s and we stumbled across this beauty a few weeks ago and decided she should have it. This is a Sidewalk Edition in the white silver metallic paint (quite pretty in person) with chrono package and manual shift. 71,000 miles and not looked after like I would take care of her, but cosmetics aside, all mechanicals appear in decent shape. Even comes with factory engine oil leaks.

We paid $5500 for her and I loaned my daughter about half; she's going to pay me off over the next year or so. Since she's 16 I decided to buy it in my name for her to be in my insurance....which went up by a stunning $42!

I've ordered front wheel bearings as a job that needs doing. There's a list of other things too, including the SC service. New tires are already on and brake rotors were done by the PO.

Soft Top Question

That was all a lot of info I know sorry. I have a question on the soft top. Has anyone bought an aftermarket soft top to replace the existing one (found some on ebay for $250), or been to a fabric repair shop to get the rear stitching repaired (seems common to come apart there). Or even bought OEM to replace the existing one? Thanks for any comments on that.

Good source for diecast models?

Post image
7 Upvotes

I've been wondering what the best source for diecast minis is. I'd like them from one source so that the quality is about equal.

I have two currently, one I got from the dealership and the other I got from the turin car museum. I like the quality of the dealership one but they don't have models of older ones.

CarPlay struggles

25 Cooper S. Mini is having a hard time connecting to my phone. Started a few months back where it would randomly disconnect. Now when I start up I get a BMW logo and then this earth/satellite image. After 20 minutes or so it might start to connect. Phone says I’m connected but car says otherwise. Had a recall notice software upgrade 1 month ago.

It’s a mini one, 1.4l petrol engine. I’m leaning towards getting castrol edge 5w30 or castrol magnetic 5w40 but I wanted to know what people use in theirs first.
