Sweet because I was really looking at it today and sure enough I have 2 marks that look like they have rubbed through so I have possibly 1 or 2 pretty small holes in it creating a vacuum leak

Hopefully the prototype will be here this month. It may be available late January or early February. You could put a small dent in the tube where the fan hits and solder up the hole if there is one.

Take it to your machine shop and weld over the holes... Then take a dremel and grind down the fan shroud...

Hey Steve n Brad,
Just an update since you fixed my mini several months ago. No alarms or codes popig up. I really miss all of those colorful lights.
Did Brad ever get a new sensor for his car? Let me know if you want the old one back in trade for a new one!

Thanks again for the great repair service.

Yep, I've gotz billz to pay. I dropped the SUV off at the dealership this morning & got the unfortunate news of how much the 45k mile routine maintenance cost is. Then to make matters worse, they told me how much a brake job was. I'm going to be working until I'm 92 now.

I won't tell you how often they recommend doing your brakes.

That's a drop in the bucket. CHECKERS died yesterday. The wife was taking it in for an oil leak and it smoked. Oil every were except in the engine. It's going to be a while before it comes home.
