So I took on the challenge of restoring a flood damaged car and judging by the fuse panel it needs replacing as I’m sure many other things too. I attempted to take a fuse out and it just crumbled as I was pulling it out. Salt water is so corrosive.

I was lucky enough to find a used fuse panel to replace it with, but I’m have some difficulty removing the connectors that plug into the back of the panel.

I see a blue lever at the end of each row and it moves if I pull it, but the connectors don’t budge or move when I try to pull the wire out.

What am I doing wrong? Do they come out or do I just cut the wire and splice it with the vehicles wire? Does this new fuse panel need programming?

Any suggestions are highly appreciated!

We had a lovely (sport)drive up and down a mountain in Portugal, enjoyed the view of the coastline up there. And then we went back down the mountain to the Autódroma race track for a lunch with a view. I love this car so much!

Hi all, does anyone know if the bonnet from a 2010 Mini Cooper would fit on my 56 plate ? Cheers

Hello it is my first post on here! Just wanted to show my little guy, i know he needs a wash😅. So blessed that the weather has been so nice that I can drive with the top down!

Didn’t even cheat this time by having them both be ours! Came back to our car to find another reindeer parked next to us!

I have a 2017 F60 with the manual rearview mirror dip. Can I install an auto dip rearview mirror for the same year and model straight up?

I’m wondering what the engine code for the 25 JCW Mini is. Is it a R56? I’m looking at the Burger intake and wondering if it’ll work with my application. Thanks!

Hi all,

Any electric owners know how to stop the car from disconnecting from my car charger when I unlock the car?

Getting rather annoying now because I have the car key in my apple wallet ie when I get close to the car it unlocks the charger and stops the charge. If I don’t realise it has unlocked then I dont get any charge. First annoying thing I’ve seen with this car.

Hey everybody this is my 2019 Clubman S All4 - racing green. I recently got new wheels for it, as well as received some small items for Christmas as seen in the pictures. New pedal covers, ignition cover, phone holder, air pressure caps, and windshield wiper front clips.

I've seen a lot of builds that "De-chrome" their mini. I'm looking to do the opposite to mine.

I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for the car. Here's my current list of purchases I am debating on making tonight:

• Gray Union Jack tail lights
• Gray Union Jack sunroof decal
• black and chrome Union Jack lock covers

If you have any recommendations please send them my way!

Excited that it appears to be modded a little and looking at the timing components and if there is upgrades for that.

I’ve searched but don’t really trust any so far - I really need a cup holder situation for my 2013 Mini Cooper S. Even if a cup fits, it falls cause the cup holders are so shallow. Also, the stick always gets in the way, presses the heated seat button etc. Generally throws me into a fit a rage LOL.

I’m imagining something to insert that puts the cup to the right of the console. Any suggestions from the group? Don’t mind how disgusting my car is right now. 🫣

I heard on a video there is a simple spring that can be removed to add more hp. Not much but some? Is this a thing?

Also is it bad to remove the fresh air flow hose and resonator?

Who’s gonna win the Rule #1??

Going to be fun seeing what all was done to this. And start to buy the timing set and tool.

Hello everyone. I'm driving a mini Cooper se 2023. Totally obsessed with it since day one. Recently I experienced an issue with the steering wheel feedback. Sometimes while turning I get slight vibrations. Always while the car is completely stopped. If the car is moving the vibrations are really really small.

Did anybody experience something similar?

I recently had to remove the shroud over the speedometer in my 2011 R56 to fix an issue with the aux port. While fitting the shroud I must have shaken the speedometer, because the needle dropped below zero. The speedometer still works, but I like it to be at zero. Does anybody know a fix for this?

I also noticed that the central speedometer is way of. When driving at 140 kp/h the speedometer reads in the neighbourhood of 160 kp/h. I have another R56 and it recently drove that one at 160 kp/h and the central speedometer read 165-170. Is this just something you’re lucky with or is there a fix?

R56S Auto, 2012 with 39,000 miles - What should I be on the lookout for? My understanding is that the timing chain guides are better on the motors after 2011, at least the recall seems to suggest that. It's low miles, but over 10 years old now - is that part miles limited, time limited, or both? Oil changes every 5k, and level checks are every fill-up. Want to keep it going nicely, the new ones just don't do it for me - what's the best way to keep it from a catastrophic failure?

I just ordered a catless downpipe from milltek for my r56, and I was wondering if it would be worth it to wrap it in exhaust wrap? I don’t know how much of a difference it would make if any. Let me know!

Windsor this morning. The nearest ones mine.
