Glad your wait is nearly over. It is a tough time between order and delivery, but what a delight when it's over.

Enjoy your new ride when it gets here and post up a picture when you can.

thanks for all the appreciation
this is my first manual car... hate them hills

first mod... stubby antenna YEA~!!!!!

 

Quick question...
Does the mini not have a coolant temp gauge??????

 

Nope, no temp gauge on 2nd gen. Very annoying.

 

Ok Im trying to an do oil change soon but people here seem to use different types of oil....
I'm gonna use Mobil one 5w30 is that ok????? I read the thread regarding which one to use but just confused me

 

just a quick question.....
is it just me or does the engine usually have the tapping sound????
any help with this would be very grateful!!!

 

The tapping sound is most likely the DI (Direct injection). I would call it a "ticking". You should hear it at idle, but should be drowned out when moving. Check the oil to make sure you are full. If in doubt have a Gen2 "S" owner listen to it to make sure it is within the norm.

 

the sound was there when i started at the dealer and yes it does drown out as i move
people keep saying im already tapping... i guess this is normal????
