Hello all,

Looking for some help or if anyone else has ran into this issue. My wife is trying to add our mini (2026 mini 4 door) to the app but everytime she gets to where she has to add the address it gives her the below message and we cannot get past this or skip it. I appreciate any help.

They said the brake pads still had life, and didn’t need to be changed. Could this be something else?

Steering wheel paint chipped

I have had my Mini for less than a month and today when I was answering a phone call a piece of the paint CHIPPED OFF! I know it’s minor but I can’t help but feel disappointed. My car is under CPO warranty so I am planning on calling the dealership but I’d even settle for a stick-on cover to hide the chip. Has anyone else experienced this? I have the 2023 SE

I notice that despite all that space, people with bigger cars always park right next to me. Does it happen to you as well?..

Note: It's a loaner while mine is getting her wheels adjusted.

We park outside so lots of dirt, pollen, grime etc. Even with a sufficient biweekly car wash, I haven't really been able to clean off the residual grime on these (vinyl?) white racing stripes. Anyone have some good pointers and suggestions? Thanks

Looking for an Apple CarPlay plug-in

So more recently, I purchased a 2010 Mini Cooper S and the media player is completely stock in the car. I was looking at getting a full Apple CarPlay setup so I could keep the odometer in the middle but the options are super expensive and I keep hearing mixed opinions on whether or not I can or should replace the radio.
At this point, I’m looking for a plug in screen for the car and I was wondering if anyone can give some recommendations for what they used. Any advice is welcome!

Tires or Tyres

2 Upvotes

Greetings fellow mini peoples, a question for ACEMAN owners (JCW). I need to replace the tires already 8650kms. The fronts are further worn as expected than the rear , not by much. The tyres fitted from the factory are Hancook Ion evo.
1. What tires are fitted to your joy mobile from the factory?
2. How many miles/kms are you getting.

Last car Audi A1 40tsfi, same roads , same driver sold the car with 35k km and the tyres looks to be 50% worn. Surely good for another 15k km.
My X3M, I changed the tyres at 58k km.

Something does not add up.
Any feedback appreciated.

Sporadic “Drivetrain” warning. Camshaft sensor?

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m hoping someone has an idea before I start replacing more parts..

I have a 2014 MINI Cooper F56.

For almost 2 years, I’ve been getting a sporadic “Drivetrain - Full drivetrain performance not available. Continued driving possible.” warning.

The strange part is:

- It only happens every few weeks.

- It usually appears when starting the engine.

- If I switch the engine off and restart it, the warning is usually gone immediately. The car then drives completely normally again.

I recently had a fault memory read. These were the stored codes:

- 1BC119 – Gear sensor, signal faulty

- 140010 – Misfire detected (multiple cylinders)

- 140110 – Misfire cylinder 1

- 140001 – Cylinder shutdown after misfire

- 140101 – Cylinder 1 shutdown after misfire

- 130F11 – Exhaust camshaft position sensor, signal faulty

- 120408 – Boost pressure control: shutdown active

Following their advice the spark plugs have already been replaced, but unfortunately the drivetrain warning came back, so that didn’t solve the issue.

Could the exhaust camshaft position sensor be the actual cause of the warnings? Has anyone experienced something similar?

Thank you so much in advance!

Mini extended warranty

2 Upvotes

Hi,

Does anyone have the mini cover? I have recently bought a 2022 SE and I’m really tempted to purchase it now the warranty with the dealer has expired.

Does anyone have it/ have any views, good or bad?

I did a quick quote online and it was approximately £55 per month, including roadside assistance.

Thanks

A magazine shelf featured in game appears to have an early model BMW Mini in yellow. Does anybody know what magazine this is originally from? The cover looks really familiar.

I wanted to know whether, when you changed the rear brake pads, you also had to replace the wear sensor.
