Hey all, Rob in CT USA here and I'm the new owner of an '07 Cooper S, six speed.

 

Hey Congrats. I just bought an 07 automatic today. I'm sooooo very happy.

 

Welcome, get ready for the real fun to begin.

 

 

Hey thanks so much! I have to say I'm having a blast in this car.

I'm going to do my fist oil change this Saturday. The oil smells old if that makes since?
Is there no dipstick for the transmission? Try not to laugh at me too hard!

I'm fairly good at turning a wrench but this mini stuff is a lot different. LOL

Right now I want to replace my stock headlighs twith HID's and LED's for all of the other bulbs.

 

Congrats and welcome.

No dipstick on the transmission . It has a fill and a drain hole on the bottom, Its filled up to the top drain hole and then spills out, Thats how you know its all the way up.

On the headlights we have some new options: The spyder DRL HID for xenon headlights and the LED DRL for halogen headlights

On Th LEDs check out our Ziza LED , no bulb out errors to worry about.

 

Hey Thanks soooo much!
It has 39,000 miles on it should I change out the tranny fluid now?
I can tell I need to look up a manual that's for sure.

 

You are welcome.

That's low miles, I waited a bit near 60K to do mine with Redline oil. Some wait a little longer.

Get the Bentley manual ( Best on the market for MINI ) and it will help you with all your basic maintenance and more. BM13 And free shipping.
