What did you do to your mini today?
Changed the cabin microfilter (one pleat slightly chewed and a tbs of small 1/8" seed husks as evidence of critters in the previous owner's garage).
Changed the engine air filter - not too dirty but enough to do it while I had the cover off.
Pulled the windshield washer pump behind the wheel well liner - lots of leafy debris in the fluid that poured out from the bottom and a bit of grunge on the gasket/strainer.
The washer had been a little intermittent and pretty wimpy, now its reliable and sprays with much stronger streams.
I was going to order a new pump but glad now that I didn't and instead simply addressed the underlying problem.

I'd been doing that for decade. Mini carries a half barrel keg more securely than another other vehicles I tried.
As for wine I've done 6 cases. No sag on the Swift springs. I wonder how many sacks of weed can Mini carry.

Thought this could be an idea for an ongoing thread and I have something to put in.
Finally installed my super charger pulley with my boyfriend! He got it for me a year ago for Valentine's day but it's been sitting in the box ever since. He took the initiative this Valentine's day to get the belt, removal tool, and spark plugs. Installation went fairly smoothe, still haven't fired her up because my battery is dead from leaving my headlights on a couple days ago (whoops). We're gunna go jump her in a few and go for a night cruise.
So... what'd you do to your mini today?

Installed on our Clubman, new chrome grill trim, top and bottom. Union Jack puddle lights, Union Jack door pulls and glove box button. This is after I got it back from having new shocks, water pump, valve cover, front control arm bushings, 25mm rear sway bar, new tires and a 4 wheel alignment. I almost forgot, front floor mats.
Thats like glass, well done.

Drove him to work today. Still a lot of fun...
I really need to figure out the suspension setup as the struts are toast after 14y 8m. lol Been driving the Odyssey (susp rebuilt 45k miles ago) and the CRX (adj susp rebuilt 18k miles ago) around before returning to the Mini... and the Mini needs assistance.
