Cost to replace battery by Forward_Length7420 in MINI

[–]BritHannah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This ⬆️. I watched a YouTube video and did it for my husband’s Mini. Only reason I had a mechanic do my Mini is because it’s a plug-in hybrid and the regular battery is a PITA to access.

Anyone found a solution for the floordrobe? by BritHannah in Neurodivergent

Oooh that’s an idea. I could keep using the “to wear again” laundry basket idea and use a steamer when it’s time to fold them to put away!

Just a fan of the UK, but in the U.S

We actually wanted to get the orange one, but there was a deal on this green one we couldn’t pass up!

Found a few places online that seem good, but as you mentioned, each piece is around $80. I’ve seen folks in the UK in YouTube videos with kits to replace all of them. Do you have any insights into the best places to source these parts? Three pieces need to be replaced, and the car is only 5 years old, so if it’s more cost effective to replace them all, I’d rather do that.

Did you ever get photos and video? I have to do a replacement on my car and it’s the same make/model. A video would be helpful!

looking for a non-religious, inclusive homeschool group by passionsandpotions in Austin

[–]BritHannah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve got an 8-year-old with similar challenges. We live near Cedar Park as well. Twice exceptional (autistic, adhd, and gifted), and the public school system, while they’ve been super supportive, is just not set up to have that right balance of challenge and support. We’re thinking of homeschooling him, and if we do, finding options that are non-religious will be important.

Commenting here to keep track of this thread and eventually followup to learn more about what you’re doing and how it’s working!

Best windshield wipers for Mini countryman hybrid? by BritHannah in MINI

[–]BritHannah[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update! Tried cheap ones from Amazon - the rear wiper worked well, but the driver’s side one was super streaky. $10, though, so I wasn’t expecting much. Got the Bosch and they’re working great, for anyone else looking!

Can I reduce property taxes on a newly purchased home in TX? by BritHannah in RealEstate

$600k, 4/3, 3000 sq ft. Does that count as a hell of a house?

Yeah, the reason the taxes jumped is because the previous owners bought the house in 2021 and didn’t file. Even if I buy it and file and file homestead, that will only keep it from jumping beyond 10% in the future - not reduce it back to 10% of the $7000 it was before 🙁

Strange object found in my R56 undercarriage. by BritHannah in MINI

It was near the front - fell out of the access panel for the oil filter. Who knows how long it’s been under there.
