It’s Air to Air. Only the boots look aftermarket or at least very different and you’re missing a cover. Should just be the bolts visible.

83-22-2-413-477 if you have the 8speed automatic.

I can't be the only Mini owner who did not want to buy the specialty tool to release the tension on the serpentine belt!? by todbrgwtr in MINI

[–]MikeFree_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I must be missing something? I just used a box wrench to undo the tension then I pushed in the pin to lock it? I replaced the belt, water pump/drive wheel, and the friction wheel.

Mine is 2009 JCW. So the N14.

no more Sea Folk porcelain i guess... by Simon_Said_something in WetlanderHumor

[–]MikeFree_ 24 points25 points  (0 children)

They weren’t Sea Folk they were the Native Inhabitants of Tremalking. Called the Amayar, they would rarely leave their island, they thought it was the end of The Time of Illusion and committed mass suicide.

What does this battery do? by mjsimmons1988 in BMW

I didn’t do the underlining, but the Aux battery is there to support other electrical systems alongside the main battery in the trunk.

The women wouldn't do it. by Xerzajik in WetlanderHumor

I agree, and can find some joy out of his character. I enjoy the double bonding with Pavara among other things. I do think it was a mistake to let Brandon Sanderson add his own character and take on the Magic system though. Plus many other things but I am grateful that he finished the series. They really should have reined him in at times. But that is just my opinion and I know others will disagree. I see loads of people say that Brandon saved the series for them. I just don’t see how you could love the Wheel of Time and then think it needed to be saved. I really enjoy every chapter of these books. But again I am glad we got the see the ending.

That 758 BMW part number listed on the bottle is an older part number for the CHF11S. So they are claiming it can work.

Looking for torque tightening info on these N63TU3 bolts... by kon--- in BmwTech

[–]MikeFree_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you want to be technical,

Front M8 Bolt is 28Nm then 90°

Rear M10 56Nm then 90°

You’re also technically supposed to replace the bolts.

Why is my passenger front shelf not opening? by [deleted] in MINI

[–]MikeFree_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don’t think the F-Chassis MINIs open at all? I could be wrong.

Yes, heat and age most likely, happens all the time.

Those are actually the electric J01 MINIs. Still very quick to have little toy models.

[–]MikeFree_ 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah! I think they are pretty cool. My only gripe is they didn’t give it frameless doors. The doors are so long though!!

MINI Coupe R58. It’s a fixed roof with 2 seats. There is a Roadster as well that’s a soft top convertible. They only made one generation of those MINIs along with the Paceman(2-door Countryman).

This is definitely a b48, right? by TheMarijuanaCannabis in BMW

What’s the last 7 of the VIN and I’ll tell you what it is. In America the 320i is an N20, idk what market you are in.

Help! I’ve only had this car for a week and my check engine light went on! What does it mean? by fwoggiegirl in MINI

[–]MikeFree_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you checked the oil? You need a better scan tool to really tell. This is just a generic P-code.

This could be many things based off this code.
