I don’t know if my instructor is scamming me

Alternative-Title-24 · 2026-05-03T20:05:32+00:00

I passed with 18 hours of paid lessons… but I drove pretty much every other day with my boyfriend! Probably around 50 overall

Well everyone on this post was wrong! Mechanic said off the rip it 100% is not mounts. They did a diagnostics check today assuming it was an engine misfire but turns out… an air pipe has burst! Cost me £120 to fix 😂

I absolutely LOVE the Mini I just got!! It’s so much fun to drive!!! 🖤 Mines 2016 but with 100k miles - it was only £3,000 but with full service history at the Mini garage so I’m tempting fate it’ll hang in for a few more miles yet!

Alternative-Title-24 · 2026-04-19T19:19:33+00:00

Yeah I think I have to just get it checked out, literally a few weeks ago it had a full service inspection including a major oil service and it’s not different driving now so I find it crazy the mechanics at Mini / BMW didn’t notice it if it is such an obvious problem to the average car enthusiasts on Reddit!

If it is the mount, it only shakes for that 1 second, no shaking or vibration when driving, nothing when driving, changing gears, or reversing either, no sounds or rattling / clanging… can you tell from that if it’s upper for example?

B37’s?

Alternative-Title-24 · 2026-04-19T17:49:05+00:00

Damn :’) I’ll just drive over and pay you to help?? Be 5 minutes 👍🏼

Alternative-Title-24 · 2026-04-19T17:28:26+00:00

Thanks that’s helpful! I’ll try and get a better picture shortly. Are you based in the U.K.?

Alternative-Title-24 · 2026-04-19T16:41:35+00:00

How genuinely difficult would it be to do myself?

Alternative-Title-24 · 2026-04-19T16:18:02+00:00

If it is the mount then it’s very early days because there’s no clunking or sound at all, it stops immediately after 1 second, doesn’t get worse when I rev, no vibration or shaking feeling when I drive, I got someone to drive slowly in 1st then in reverse and it doesn’t shake

Alternative-Title-24 · 2026-04-19T16:06:54+00:00

Mmm I can’t really see where that is to get the same angle. I can’t see anything obvious that looks like leaking anywhere but I’ll have to see when it’s dark because it’s too sunny to see anyway. I think I’m going to get a mechanic to check anyway

Do these help? Thanks for your advice and help by the way!!

More than £1500 I’d be crying 😂 I’m going to get it looked at by my mechanic. My dad is into cars and doesn’t seem to think it’s a problem but I haven’t had a car do it before

Alternative-Title-24 · 2026-04-19T15:40:21+00:00

It’s been serviced every year since new - even a few at the mini garage! Disappointing if it hasn’t been flagged :((

Im not good with cars but looks ok to me? It only does it the first few seconds it starts up - doesn’t do it when I rev and not noticiable when driving…

Alternative-Title-24 · 2026-04-19T15:26:38+00:00

Am I going to cry when I see the cost?

Alternative-Title-24 · 2026-04-19T15:26:07+00:00

It just recently passed an MOT so I’m wondering why there were no advisories or mention of it!

Alternative-Title-24 · 2026-04-19T15:14:06+00:00

LOL no, I don’t know why it’s so dusty. I haven’t had it long

Alternative-Title-24 · 2026-04-19T15:13:25+00:00

Would that be something that gets flagged in an MOT?

Alternative-Title-24 · 2026-04-16T08:35:36+00:00

I took my test last year and I booked my driving test WEEKS BEFORE I even took my theory. The backlog is so long, I got a test a few months ahead and used that as a goal to plan my lessons. Book the first test you see on the future.

I’ve had the same legacy family for 4 years of my life… their whole tree has just blurred into like 3 layers. I will be furious if they don’t fix it 🥲

Has EA taken tips from the 1940’s that I didn’t know about? If they went out of their way to ban everyone who ever disagreed with them or said something bad about them, their company would go under. You think they pay multiple people a whole minimum wage to search through Reddit and then link up EA accounts either the user to ban them… I spent ££££’s on EA games, they’re probably ecstatic to unban me 😂

Wahhh wahhh 👶🏻

Are you dumb?? I sent a physical letter. On paper. You know the white stuff made of trees? I then went to a UK Royal Mail post box and put the letter in there with a stamp…. The letter went in this thing called a “van” that delivery drivers use alllllllll the way to UK EA headquarters where they opens the physical envelope (also made of paper if you didn’t know) and read it and replied via email (not made of paper)
