I want to thank everyone that has documented their repair history and tips. I recently purchased a 2003 Mini - S for my wife and have been preparing it for service. It has 89K miles and needed some TLC. I will post pictures later and look forward to adding to the knowledge that I used to assist other Mini-owners to repair and replace items like I did.
Thanks again to everyone!!

 

Welcome to NAM! It is great resource for Mini knowledge.
