Hi all I really need some help here. I'm finishing up putting in a new thermostat on my R56 Justa cooper and as I was attempting to re attach the clip from the thermostat to the water hose it dinged away and I can't find it. Is there a substitute I can use for this clip?? it's in the WORST possible place. I can barely get my hands in there to begin with. Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciate seeing as my Mini is dead in the water till I get this resolved.

Thanks!

Unfortunately I had the same thing happen when I replaced my thermostat. I ordered another clip online and waited for the replacement. It only took a couple days. I never did find the lost clip. Luckily I had a spare car to drive, so it wasn't a problem.

I hope it works out OK for you.
