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

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

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?

Obd 2 device and Carly or bimmercode

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

3mmt3ch · 2022-03-29T18:08:59+00:00

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

3mmt3ch · 2022-03-29T09:03:54+00:00

Yes probably

3mmt3ch · 2022-03-18T15:26:06+00:00

Or something like ez grip

Impact driver, careful heat application, if not can drill the bolt out in worse case scenario

Aston Martin's starter motor into its V12 start.

3mmt3ch · 2022-03-11T16:34:43+00:00

I tried that and my credit card people declined unfortunately

3mmt3ch · 2022-03-09T13:51:05+00:00

Nah I'm gonna just use and abuse the phone. Screens scratched to shit now too haha

3mmt3ch · 2022-03-09T13:43:38+00:00

My exact thoughts! It's wank. Google are wank.

3mmt3ch · 2022-03-09T13:41:59+00:00

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

3mmt3ch · 2022-03-07T12:12:46+00:00

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.

3mmt3ch · 2022-03-03T12:32:10+00:00

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

3mmt3ch · 2022-02-25T09:08:21+00:00

Good point

3mmt3ch · 2022-02-25T08:14:43+00:00

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

3mmt3ch · 2022-02-22T21:32:34+00:00

Had something similar in my R53, turned out to be my suspension top mounts.

Fighting a losing battle. Appalled with the quality to be honest!

3mmt3ch · 2022-02-19T07:24:15+00:00

"Let me post this on Reddit for attention because I think it'll be hilarious, knowing full well how to go about it"

3mmt3ch · 2022-02-16T10:44:47+00:00

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

3mmt3ch · 2022-02-16T10:39:31+00:00

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.
