Thank you, I 've already seen this video.
The guy use à "Lazer" socket.
I've red that the quality of this tool isn't so good, that's why I'm looking for something else.
I need a 14mm bi-hex spark plug socket ( I have one already ) but with thin wall...........not the case for mine.
That's why I'm wondering about the ECS one.
It's written "for N54/55" engine.
Then, a few lines below, fits all Mini.
As I live far away from USA, I would like to be sure before ordering !!

 

I just talked to ECS and they assured me it will work. They are going to update the info on their website to reflect this.

 

Thats a fitment error on the site, (just in the fitment box) we need to fix. Its correct to the selected MINIs in the drop down menu.

In the description, it fits:

MINI Gen 2 (R55, R56, R57, R58, R59 & R60, R61) Models
MINI Gen 3 (F54-F60+) Models

 

Thank you Vestsvette.
So, I'm gonna try

 

And thank you ECS.
Any idea of the delivery price for Paris/France

 

Welcome, always here to help.

Add to cart and then select your location, it will calculate the price to ship. You will also have a selection option for different shipping methods which will then change the cost in cart for shipping.

 

OK.
I tried on your website but the delivery cost is the price of the tool X5......
If you have another solution to suggest me ( I try again on your website ).

 

Yes, shipping overseas can be $$, did you try another shipping method in the selection? Also I would not just order 1 thing if you combine items, the shipping most of the time does not change much and you can get more stuff you need.

 

Yes, I've selected the cheapest method/way !
And I don't need anything else...............
To bad I live so far.
Thanks for your help anyway

 

All I can think of is order more items to share cost.

 

Spark plug Witch??

 

I knew that was going to come.

 

Yes, a little mistake from a frenchie.
I wanted to make a correction but you can't do anything about the title.............only the post itself !!

 

I took a regular socket that I had in my toolbox and ground down the outside till it fit. Took only a few minutes and it works perfectly.

 

Thought about it, but you need a rotatable milling machine, I suppose ?

 

I can take mine to a turner milling machine operator !

 

I assume the tool is made in Germany? Try googling Schwaben part #001247SCH01A.
Maybe you can buy it from a closer distributor.

 

Thanks for bringing that up on the international network. They can get our stuff for you.

We have Awesome GTI in the UK. https://www.awesomegti.com/

 

I tried, of course, but nothing came !
Well, anyway, thank you vetsvette/ECS, I've finally ordered the "laser" spark plug socket for 15 dollars.
If it works on the video, I finally decide that it will work for me !!!
Cheers

 

Definitely needs a HEX socket.

 

I just used a bench grinder and spun it around a few times. You don't need precision for the outside, just take enough off so it fits. I painted the area where the chrome was removed so it wouldn't rust.

 

 

It was all in good fun, not out to mock language or spelling skills
