Re: R56 Turbo Oil Line Replacement

I'm sure it will since most of the time it was trying to figure out where the bolts to the heat shields were. And cooling the engine off.

Re: R56 Turbo Oil Line Replacement

Save $800 up and pay the dealership to do it. LOL It is really a pain but it goes back together faster than it came apart. And putting in this new line there's nothing on it that will go bad like the o-ring on the stock line. The worst part was taking the heat shields off.

Re: September Shop Day - UPDATE!

Thank you Dave for all your help and offering up your garage space and tools. I'll be sure to message you when I get the oil supply line in so we can get that done soon (went over 57,000 miles today)

Re: September Shop Day - UPDATE!

You wanna come over a little later like last time or first thing? I'm thinking we'll have a couple of brake jobs in the shop first so if you want to come a little later that could work out better. Don't forget your oil and filter, OK? I was going to come over a little later in the day and I still o...

If you have space I'd like to join. Apparently my car just needed its 60,000 mile check so I'd like to do an oil change.

What free oil change is that?

Aren't you at 55K miles?

Or did you buy the extended maint package?
I've got the extended maint. :) (56,100, btw :D )

Oh no! :( That does sound really scary. I always get nervous when there's large trucks behind me in the MINI.

Re: Queen Lizzy's Fish and Chip shop, Lawrence, KS August 25

According to Google, it's an hour and a half drive from Lawrence... It looks like it would be a pretty nice drive but I don't know how many people would want to do an all day event....

Re: Queen Lizzy's Fish and Chip shop, Lawrence, KS August 25

Ok, for meeting up to head out to Lawrence, how about we meet at the parking lot for the T-Bones stadium at the Legends at 10:30am. We'll leave at 10:45am and hopefully be in Lawrence before 11:30. We'll take 24/40 highway out there. Should be interesting since I've never taken that route before. I ...

I don't think a fan is going to do much except move hot air.

Speaking of big fans, at my work we have these gigantic fans and their names are Big Ass Fans. Randomness done.

Re: Garage Day Anyone?

Again? How many miles have you done since we just did it the last garage day? 7,500 is OK for the MINI oil we used - don't forget you owe me a quart too. So does someone else, but I've forgotten who..... If it's time we can certainly do it. Maybe we should start a bit earlier, in view of the heat? ...
