Mini from Italy
 

Ciao :)
I post from Italy, used to live in the USA 10 years ago and that`s were I started to love minis... you know, they were the hot thing in sanfran :lol:

I have a 2002 Justa, 120k miles and starting to give a LOT of trouble all at once, seriously considering what to do.

Engineer by trade and glider pilot by night.

Hoper to find many tech nerd here!

Welcome to NAM.

What type of problems you having?

Welcome to NAM. We also had a 2005 Justa that began to give us problems. Our daughter and father-in-law were driving her and did not maintain her. To make a long story short we traded her in for another car for the daughter and father-in-law.

Welcome. Post up some pics of that MINI in Italy!

Hi and welcome to NAM!
Let us know what problems you are experiencing and we will help you get it going right again!

Hi! Problem is a gone-bearing noise when car is under power, already did all the pres depress clutch etc and I`m pretty positive it`s in the box, primary side, behind clutch... Still, I`ll have it looked at in the shop... You know, maybe I`m lucky and its someting clutch related (hahah, I wish!)
I`ll post picture of the mini in italy (well, pretty italian landscape with the mini in a corner of the pic) soon :-)

What I am now evaluating is if to quick fix the thing with another el-cheapo Midland gearbox, fit the S Getrag in it or go full crazy and stick a nice 100kw Siemens AC drive in it.

Bonjourno! Be sure to check out our tech articles in my signature under "DIY Help". Shoot me a PM if you have any questions! :)

Ciao Pellicano! I`m the one who (twice) thanked you on your Fb page after fixing the car in the middle on nowhere following your guides...

I took a deep breath and concluded that the full-EV conversion on my daily driver would be just too much, so I am now getting a 6 speed GEtrag box from UK and going that way for the conversion. Wish me luck!!! :lol:
