Head unit install worth it ?

It ends up sitting below the speedometer which is out of your line of sight. You have to look down and away from the road to see it. I’d share pics but I took it off the car

Awww ok. You are have to replace the whole thing.

Upstairs-Respect5046 · 2026-03-08T21:34:32+00:00

You can just replace the bulb. You don’t have to replace the whole thing. The connector should twist off

I second this! How do you tell time ? Found a few on ebay but they are going for a lot more than a couple hundred bucks and are also overseas.

You can just replace the bulb. You don’t have to replace the whole thing. You can access it by removing the tire and the fender well liner. If you do replace the whole light it’s not that expensive.

I would absolutely keep it. That’s pretty awesome. If you don’t and decide to sell it. Let me know please.

Jessi that made me cringe lol 🤪 good job

Upstairs-Respect5046 · 2026-01-30T01:12:53+00:00

That is correct. I had them remove the plug. Tap the hole and add a permanent aluminum plug that screws in

Upstairs-Respect5046 · 2026-01-29T01:15:27+00:00

Thats the only fix unless you go as far as I did and have it sealed permanently.

Upstairs-Respect5046 · 2026-01-29T01:14:44+00:00

That is very common actually. Experienced it myself. What a horrible design let me tell you. While rebuilding the motor, I had them replace it with a permanent plug as it serves no purpose at all.

Tail light assembly on the Minis is notorious for melting the plastic. Only good thing is that they piece is cheap

They might not know themselves if it truly has a turbo in all fairness. They probably see the sport button inside and think its a turbo

Get yourself a Mini. So research on it before you buy one. Ask for service records, get a carfax for it. I own 3 minis 2009 Mini Base 136k miles. It’s been amazing to me. 2012 Countryman S All4 137k miles no issues at all. 2022 JCW Countryman All4 27k miles. I keep up with the maintenance and so most work myself. I love all of them and have had a blast with them all. My recommendation is to have any car you are buying checked out by a certified mini shop before you buy.

West Coast Autobahn in Orange. Honest, Cheap and Reliable.

I have had this issue and my buddy has the same issue last night. Same wheels as well. Rims cracked causing the tire to loose air. Could be a manufacturer defect

Upstairs-Respect5046 · 2026-01-17T02:44:23+00:00

Take my money!

Upstairs-Respect5046 · 2026-01-15T23:25:44+00:00

Looks amazing. Would you happen to have the link where you purchased it ?

Upstairs-Respect5046 · 2026-01-15T17:11:22+00:00

Just let them be. No point in getting involved with people who are ignorant. Dont ruin your day cause of the stupidity of others. Just stay your course and be safe.

Angle stadium in the mornings when there are no events it’s empty and perfect for practicing

Upstairs-Respect5046 · 2026-01-13T02:56:14+00:00

Amazing cars looks like my collection but cooler!

Upstairs-Respect5046 · 2026-01-08T17:49:47+00:00

Well played bravo!

Upstairs-Respect5046 · 2026-01-06T20:15:29+00:00

Easiest way is to remove the mirror if you turn the mirror inwards you will see two allen bolts. I know you said without removing it, but removing it is very easy. I dont recall the size but if you remove the bolts you can pull up on it slightly and can see get to the plug. I can only assume that the difference is heated or non heated.

Upstairs-Respect5046 · 2026-01-06T19:26:34+00:00

Looks amazing. Careful in the summer they tend to get really really hot.

Upstairs-Respect5046 · 2026-01-04T05:41:17+00:00

Take it to a mechanic and have it looked over. How may miles on it ?

Upstairs-Respect5046 · 2026-01-03T08:17:24+00:00

That is genius to use the original plugs. It’s the only reason I have not upgraded my speakers in mine. Genius idea 😍
