Re: R56 Turbo Oil Line Replacement
Is it worth going to the place in Olathe to use a lift? I'm thinking the shields would be easier with the car up in the air.

Re: o-ring replacement on high pressure fuel pump
Dave, you are always so helpful! I don't need to replace mine now but maybe sometime in the future.
I can't believe that part costs that much! If I could see the mouth to model it and had access to a 3D printer (cant use the ones at work), we could make one of those for about $15.

Re: Out in the 505 for a year
Thanks for the info. I will likely go to them for my oil change and check up. Just pricey.

Out in the 505 for a year
Hello fellow MINIacs, Chris here (with the red/white R56). I was wondering if anyone knew of a MINI club in the Albuquerque, NM or Santa Fe area? I found a club online (New Mexico Mini Motoring) but they haven't been active in a year and not very active before that. I miss the MINI family in KC. BTW...

Re: R56S EGT Concern
an update: I changed the plugs at the last garage day. Thanks Dave! for letting me use your tools for the job. Installed NGK ILZKBR7A-8G plugs, which is what came out of it. I had 50,400ish miles on the original plugs. Taking them out, cylinders (from the timing chain side) 1 and 4 were nearly bridg...

It seems my 2010 is leaking. I have noticed drops on the ground where I park. May need a few mins on the lift to check it out.MiniManiac wrote:I got my new water pump installed along with new hoses. I will bring the Mini and hopefully we can get my oil leaks fixed

Re: Anyone up for a garage day?
I installed struts,springs and rear sway bar in my driveway in a little over an afternoon with no power tools. Probably do-able, but would go quicker with an impact and a good (my rental was horrible) spring compressor. Will consume a couple of people for the full time though. I just ordered spark p...

Are all the Nuvi 360s the same? If so, looks like Amazon has some used ones listed.
