1st time MINI owner. R50

Hello, first time mini owner here. I have lots to learn about it and hope this site is where I need to be. I have tried to youtube what I need help with but there is barely anything on the help I need.
Looking forward to learning more about the minis.

nice!! I have an 04 as well. It's off white. I bought it used. He was trying to sell it for 3k, but after a walk around and inspection. I offered 1,500. Because the tachometer is completely dead, water leaking due to sunroof, needing tires and new xenon headlight. He went for the 1,500. I figured out the leak myself after some youtube videos. I'm assuming he never did his research as he used silicone around the sunroof hoping it would solve the leak? So I had to cut the globs off, reattach the rubber piece and zipped tied them. It worked, no more leak. I am still trying to figure out the tachometer though. Haven't check the wiring behind the fuse box in the footwell or the BCM. Replaced the headlight this morning and made an appt for new tires, and alignment.
