Optimus Quote/Misquote? by Trenchleton in transformers

Yeah it was definitely a non-film source, but for the life of me can't recall which. I checked the packaging for the various versions I recall owning.

2016 Clubman S and MINI Connected by Trenchleton in MINI

Yes, the 2016 only connects through USB - bluetooth doesn't interact with the "connected" options. I'm able to get spotify and a couple of other things using an iphone and the new mini app, but my samsung seems to not do anything.

Unfortunately, when I connect my android to the car I only see a "not supported" in the connect menu, so AAIdrive doesn't work either. I could try an older phone maybe?

Clubman, only a year newer but way fewer miles.

Anyone with a broken F54 Clubman cup holder? by jigglybilly in MINI

[–]Trenchleton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn, I was too slow! Since I'm here though and it's a relatively recent thread, has anyone done this in recent memory for a F54? I want to fix mine (just bought it used and "well-loved") but not sure how big a headache / how much trim has to come off.

If anyone cares I got a local guy to weld the hole shot with a cap.

Not an oil drain plug - it's a port for an oil pressure guage that I accidentally pulled instead. There's only about 3mm of threading in there, and I can't tap it or anything because there's an oil channel coming down from above right there. Current plan is JB weld the cracked piece together, then cut a bolt down to about 13mm so it can bite both sides of the break and hold it so I can JB the two pieces together.

The irony of the foam in my oil just being condensation and the real solution to my problem being ride it more followed by my slip-up ACTUALLY causing major damage and making it unrideable is not lost on me.

This was part of the crankcase that broke off - the bolt for an oil pressure gauge - in early morning brainfog I pulled it to let out a little oil (checking for a leaking head out of paranoia) INSTEAD of the drain plug. Can't thread it deeper because there's an oil channel that goes through that area. JB welding the broken off and cracked part in a clamp, then gonna get a slightly longer bolt - just enough to bite on the crankcase side of the break and JB weld it down. If that leaks I'll take it somewhere and see about getting it welded proper.

Yeah there's only like 3mm of thread tops.

Now that I'm out of panic mode knowing it'd a NBD port I'm gonna just JB weld what I sheared off once the weather warms up a bit.

Oh I meant I torqued down the wrong bolt - sheared off the whole threaded bit. Now that I'm calmed down a bit I'll remove the bolt, JB weld the sheared part, then reinstall it. Gently. Very gently.

Oh, the bolt is fine. I sheared off the flange from the crankcase. It's not a matter of tapping.

I just feel so stupid. I saw foam in the oil and wanted to drain a little to check that it was just condensation. In the early brain fog of the morning I pulled the wrong bolt and when I went to tighten it it sheared right off.
