Anyone have one for real interior panel removal on a Clubman? Specifically the carpeted pieces on both sides. I don't really need to get the plastic pieces nor the pillar covers off.

Thanks,
Paul

 

[QUOTE=mikeyymatz13;3319737]I know it takes an electronic guru on the resistors because I'm trying to figure out the same thing. Want to purchase a slim HID ballast kit for my fog lights but am not sure about the resistors thing too. But to get to the fog bulb is simple by going behind the wheel wheel to remove it. Its in your manual.

 

Hi guys,

So I have a 2008 Cooper hardtop with 57K miles.. I have had the service light on to replace my lower brakes for a while, but I have been told I have 3% on my rear brakes, and was told that I should install new rotors aswell as pads.. I am wondering if there is a DIY thread out there for rear brakes. I have never worked on brakes before, However I am pretty handy, and have full access to a shop when I am ready.

If anyone can send me any kind of link to a DIY thread, or offer any advice I would really appreciate it.

Thanks for looking.. Dean

 

Removing the tach/dash to put on the checkered dash panel behind the tach ('09 MC) .... anyone know how to do this?

 

The panel simply "pops" out. I had to remove mine to thread the wiring while installing my driving lights. It's flimsy in the middle because there's not a lot of material so be careful and don't bend it too much.

I used a plastic panel tool, but any plastic tool (to prevent scratching) should do.

1. Pull steering wheel toward you & lower as much as possible.
2. You do not have to remove Tach.
3. Gently pry right side, left side & middle of dash panel until it pops free.
4. To clear Tach, turn upside down as you take it off. I found once loose you can turn it over and slide it up between the tach & dash without removing the tach.
5. Reverse to install checkered dash part.

It's not hard, but take your time.

Good luck!

 

Cheers man... I'll try that.

 

I would love to see a DIY on how to add a second window toggle. It drives me nuts that they are behind the cup holders. Please help!

Thanks for the fast reply, I've those videos a few times and I can't find out how it is installed..

 

What cooling tube are you talking about? I've never heard of any radio ever with a "cooling tube".

 

It's in the diagram below

Part "6"

 

Ah, I have a 2012 and mine doesn't have that. From the diagram it looks like you'd just pull the radio and it would be right there.

Sorry I can't help more.

 

I upgraded my radio from wave CD to boost CD, so my car did not had the tube preinstalled.
I bought the tube from the dealer, but I can not find out how it is installed on the car.
So, if anyone with a boost CD removes it, for any reason. I would appreciate any photo of the tube installed.
Thank you.

 

R56 2007 Fuel Tank Vent Valve? Has anyone replaced these and where is it located

Thanks

 

Hello all. I know this is a hefty request but I was wondering if anyone on here had a walkthrough of removing the turbo. I'm having mine rebuilt by G-Pop Shop and I need to figure out whether I can remove it myself without extreme measures, or if I need to pay a shop to do it. I'm pretty comfortable with my mechanical abilities, I've done every other mod on my car myself. Thanks everyone!

 

Seems do-able. Just looks like a few bolts. Doesnt sound that bad. Good luck.

 

Anyone know when I can get a How To: for a 2011 MCS, doing my brakes, brake lines, and rotors? Any help would be great, thank you.

 

Brakes are brakes. Just pull the wheel and it'll be pretty obvious.

 

Hi,

I have ordered a replacement turbo for the above and am looking for a DIY for the removal and replace procedure.

Any links would be most helpful.

Thanks

 

This is bad advice research and research again before doing them makes sure you properly bleed the lines to get rid of any air....the result of doing it wrong could be serious injury to yourself and others possibly even death, brakes are a very important part of your cars safety system so please make sure you have it down in your head before doing. I had a close friend crash into a pole last month because of a bad brake job thankfully he was okay but it could hqve been a lot worse.

 

Thanks yeah I've been doing research especially on YouTube there are plenty of videos on there on how to do them. It looks easy so I will do it sometime in November. I might post a "How To:" if I find the directions simple.

 

If my brakes were do i would post a how too but my mini is fairly new as use goes it is an easy procedure just gotta make sure you dont skip any steps, have fun!

 

Is there a guide to replacing Cooper S valve cover please ? I have searched both on this site and wider afield, but only found some snippets of info, with no proper step by step detail.

Thanx

 

I have a 2007 Cooper S with the standard Speedo, I have been offered from an accident damaged Cooper S the optional extra GPS/Navagation Speedo and the parts required to make it work.

My questions are:

1. Is it possible/practical to install and get this working in my MINI?

2. What other parts in adition to the speedo would I need?

3. Once fitted, am I right in thinking that I would need a recode to get it working?

4. Anything else I should consider?

Thanks Rob
