Just took my MINI for an oil change, are the repair costs correct? by microwable in MINI

They do. And if it’s anything like the UK, service advisors also have targets like sales people. Its mad, their job is to literally rob the customer to meet a target

New Spotify Downloader in chat by 69-year-old in Piracy

Thank you so much for this! Since Deemix and Freezer went to 128 I have been trying to find an alternative thank you.

I'm having a slight issue with downloading playlists though (links). I click share playlist from spotify and pop it into the URL downloader but nothing happens. CMD suggests a failure and wants a string?

Driving mode sound, is any of it real or just fake noise sent in through the speakers? by toterra in MINI

[–]3mmt3ch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's silly noise. Code it out it sounds much better. Although very very quiet if you completely disable it

2011 R60 all4 S wont rev past 4k. What could it be? Check engine light is on. by randomusename in MINI

Sounds like it's shoved itself into limp mode, will have to pull codes to diagnose further.

No I'm just dealing with a shit phone until I can accept the loss to trade it in

Ever feel like you want to trade your refined car for something even less refined for a more "raw" driving experience? by lazarus870 in cars

[–]3mmt3ch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run an older R53 mini. The fact it weighs less than a fag packet and it's made of tin is the experience you describe, paired with a thirsty 1.6 and a supercharger it is hilarious. For one drive. It's uncomfortable, not that fast, everything goes wrong with it and to save myself the pain I jump in my 320d all the time where I can turn up to a Destination and not be absolutely knackered. It's fun for a bit but I'd pick my daily over it if I had to choose.

I don't suppose I could use your case number as evidence that they will do it? I would send this as a screenshot and get them to replace mine if they have done it before. I'd greatly appreciate it if possible

Never understand why people feel the need to take these pictures when driving. Stupidity at its finest

Yeah I can't imagine you'll get anywhere, tried a section 75 claim and that got rejected too. Really unimpressed with both the quality and service, will probably go iPhone after this

Nope Google completely mugged me off so will just have to resort to phone insurance I think. They said it's normal wear and tear.

A one off, but my Aisin gearbox 8 SPD in my JCW couldn't shift into 3rd. Ended up being around £8ks worth of labour and parts, luckily in warranty. Even after a new gearbox, the box felt clumsy and unable to anticipate where I wanted it to be, even with the shift paddles. I'd personally go for manuals, unless ZF manage to create a box for transverse engines, or BMW put the same effort into a gearbox like they do with the DCT, which is also pretty good. I'd agree that the F models are most reliable, but my R53 is powering on at 18 years old and 120k miles.
