Mine just spontaneously exploded into a ball of fire!
Jesus, was it your footwell module? I just got mine fixed for free because the recall
No idea. It just happened out of nowhere. Im just lucky I wasn't in the car. This was last night
Dear god
dare we ask what caused that?
Kali Ma!!
Omg France 🇫🇷 last week?
That will certainly buff out
Just needs some stickers I think
Holy great balls of fire
I mean that looks like the gen everyone knows has problems
Not quite everyone, apparently
The trick is you watch everyone else have problems, and then learn from their failures to do preventative maintenance on yours.
I feel attacked.
In my defense I thought it had the N18 not the N14.
Wait, there is a WORSE engine than the N18?!
They are so much fun though, at least when you're done working on it or paying for someone to you get to drive a fuckin Mini instead of something boring like a Hyundai
They are fun
Could be vanos adjusters or timing chain wich both are expensive but After that you‘d have a good time
What is the diagnosis ?
What is the problem ?
Handbrake is still on
and the airbag warning,
Ours is our 4th car. It’s for the weekends.
Our three others are Toyotas.
It is fun, teaches you automotive electrical theory.
Fun until they blow up.
Is this timing chain? If so, is just the sign to get it done or too late?
If your are near Pensacola Florida, I work on gen 2 minis as a mobile mechanic. Looks like right hand drive tho so no dice there
The recall for the passenger seat sensor ended a few years ago. There’s a sensor bypass that’s really easy to install that tells the computer that the seat is always occupied by an adult that’s been working well for me, I’ll see if I can dig it up.
