Hello together, after I finally got my Ligthning Adapter for my iPhone 5 yesterday, I was full of anticipation that I can now finally use the connected plugin (via Y-cable) from my Mini. Unfortunately this only works partially. The apps “Driving Excitement” etc. work… but the PlugIn can not start so I have no access to the playlist with Coverflow etc. I always get the error message “No plugin capable device” and the “Self-diagnosis tool” doesn’t bring me any further Do you have the same problem? And has anyone already found a solution?? Thank you very much for your help

So, after I got angry about the workshop last week, now the invoice for the repairs. My mini did not come through the TÜV, the following was criticized: crossbar seals porous, parking brake pulls unevenly, license plate lighting a bulb broken, oil on the covers, KAT wobbles and exhaust-relevant errors in the fault memory. The workshop should therefore proceed according to TÜV report, cost estimate of the workshop was between 200 and 500 €, depending on what the A bgas-relevant error is accurate. Now I get an invoice of almost 1000 € without having informed me the workshop.

Moin, as the title already says, since last night (Sunday) after driving through the Ardennes, I have a “ghost howls” out of the engine compartment. From about 25 km/h it appears, from 55 km/h it sounds like it is “egging” and it is getting louder and louder. No matter if I’m in or uncoupled, no matter what speed and no matter what speed I’m currently in, the noise is getting louder and louder the faster I drive, it gets overtaken by the loudness even mejnen engine. An idea what it might be? Remote diagnosis blind is difficult I know. If I drive home today I will record this in the hope you can imagine something below. E: 2003’er R50, petroler / no turbo conversion cooler is new (<2 months) Servo pump & oil also new (<2 months) E2: My backlog has also been giving noises for about 3 weeks, can it be just "just" that? It is always only during the ride.

hi, my mini doesn’t work the splash water back since last winter. I thought it was piped in at that time, but unfortunately it’s not like that. 🙁 the spotlight cleaning system and the splash water fore still work. if I activate the splash water for back, then you hear the pump buzzing, but there’s nothing. 🙁 does one of you have any idea what it might be about?

Hello dear forum community have n R50 Cooper with 5 gear gears here engine is chipped and brings according to performance report round 140 hp. The gears is a Midland , this kracht very strong in reverse gears otherwise it does not make any problems up to now. Basically the first question I ask myself is it is possible to install the gear 5 gears into my mini or does not fit that ? Unfortunately could not find any concrete information about it yet. The other possibility w of course to order a gear kit in England, i.e. the replacement shafts, seems to be everything except the 5 and the reverse gear, are these absolutely necessary? If yes, where? Is there a concrete instruction or other for the gear or the shaft/gear change? I am happy about the answers and hope there are not too many questions

Hello guys. I have the mini are October and he annoys me so slowly. I constantly have the problem that the motor control light goes on. Lamdasonde on kat is always the mistake. The curious is that she comes and goes so times is 3 weeks of rest and then comes the error and after a few weeks it goes on its own again. I had changed the country already. It was 1-3 months of rest and now he starts again. He does not attract power incidence in the low speed range when I have the The second one is the tire pressure indicator on although there is enough air on it everywhere. 2,2bar ! I hope you can help me

Hello dear mini community, at the moment I drive a VW up that comes away as soon as a buyer has been found. I have been thinking about buying a Mini Cooper with or without S as its successor, but I am very unsure of it. Actually, the Mini would be my dream of the perfect car, would not be the many negative reports. One reads on the Internet very much how bad they are from technology and a workshop stay in principle is self-evident. In the 5 years with my up I have never done anything else than to appear on time for my inspection, which is why the change makes me a bit afraid. How serious are the defects really? Are there really more than just inspections on me at which something is changed? If I decide for a used R53 I have already selected for myself the following points for which I think the important ones are or I still have questions: -Year of construction after 2004 best 2006 I am currently a student and drive about 15,000 a year. The car has to last until the end of my studies so about 50,000 km. Is it enough to buy a mini with 150,000 then I would be at 200k after his term. A couple thought up to 200 you could drive him well before his pension. -The Mini Cooper with 116ps should be enough for me from the performance however I find the optics not as beautiful as with the S. So I wonder how much is in the maintenance g And if they have the same defects. The Cooper probably have less mechanical parts that can break because of lack of compressor. -All say only that he swallows if you give it to him correctly. But how does it look with the consumption under normal circumstances if you switch nicely at 2500. -Pay insurance no gear damage which should often happen? To sit on so much money with a car where it is clear from the beginning that something like that comes Before I buy a very unreliable car, I would look at one of my alternatives, such as the MX-5, Audi TT Coupe, Smart Roadster. For another hot competitor, the Audi A1, my budget is not yet rich.

I have a question. I am looking for new summer tyres and now I have found which ones but a bit irritated because on my stands 205 45 zr17 88w and where I want to buy now stands only 205 45 r 17 88w. Does the Zr mean something and can I buy the others? (know stupid question, but must buy the first time alone ??) Thank you for your answers

Hi, I’m the Max 21 years old and I’m looking for my own car for the first time, until then I drove my mother’s car (Honda Jazz), or my motorcycle (r6), quite a lot, since I now need a car early because of a new job and that quite quickly, I look like crazy. I don’t want to spend too much I think 8000 should be enough, looking for mobile under any brands I found then 2 minis where I thought to myself actually much cooler than such a typical se at ibiza the one year 2010 with 5000 Km and the other 2006 with 18000 Km. Both look very well maintained, but in 2006 I wonder if this can be with so few Km? I hope with someone can help and say what to the 2 offers Thank you http://suchen.mobile.de/…/details.html?… http://suchen.mobile.de/…/details.html?…

my mini-cooper, built year + purchase in 2004, now has 8 years on the hill with 39000 km drive, – I have had so far NEVER any problem, – but now: the passenger door can only be opened from the inside for some time, – from the outside there is no lock (so only to open with remote control) … if I activate the remote control, even the door button at the driver’s side opens, – not the one at the passenger’s door. in the workshop one spoke of “door covering must be removed, – d he electricity supply has to be checked” – no exact information about the costs, i.e. TEUER – a well-known person who has the same problem on another car, one called cost of approx. 250 euro! because I actually have to have the possibility to enter also on the side of the driver (been parked before, or the driver door could already be frozen) I ask first, before I even think about such a cost, HERE about whether someone has experience with it…bin for j eden Ratschlag gratifying!!! lg gabi
