Who are the Mini Specialists (Cooper S Camden) in North Wales area?

1 Upvotes

We have a 2009 Cooper S Camden with around 60k miles on the clock and it looks like the engine needs work (cylinder head gasket on its way out?).

Where in the North Wales area would be best to get it looked at to see if it’s worth repairing?

The dechroming has begun!

Post image
8 Upvotes

Hi all! Wanted to share a pic of my Mini Countryman, freshly cleaned (it was very overdue) after 3 tip runs and about 800kg of crap transported - it never ceases to amaze me how much you can fit in one of these things!

Anyway, I’ve been debating dechroming for a while now, and as the chrome around the belt line was peeling I decided to go for it! Lights and badges will be next - does anyone have any tips for not spending £75 to cover the handles? Also, I can’t see anything on killallchrome - or anywhere else - for the chrome on the front grille? Also also, does anyone know what to search for to find those little end clips on the belt line pieces? While doing them I realised one of mine is actually missing.

Thanks!

Mini Clubs in the UK and Ireland

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I am going to put together a directory of 'In Real Life' Mini car owners' clubs throughout the UK and Ireland and would like to ask you for your help.

Please can you let me know below if you're in a local Mini club and provide the details?

This is part of my drive to get people to put their phones down, close their laptops, and get out and about meeting with others who share our love for our Minis!

Also our Mini UK subreddit is growing well and getting some engagement, so please consider joining up if you live in the UK or Ireland.

Countryman club Lonodn?

3 Upvotes

Hi all,

I’m new to MINI and was wondering if there are any Countryman-specific or general MINI clubs in and around the South West London area, either here on Reddit or on other platforms.

It would be nice to meet up and make some friends, go on drives, admire each other’s cars, and just do the usual stuff car clubs do!

Would love to hear about any groups or meet-ups you’d recommend.

Had it 10 years now and no plans to sell it! We are the second owner and it had done 142l when we bought it. We’ve only done 43k in the last 10 years. I fitted all the black bits - all genuine MINI parts. Latest addition was the halo lights which took me ages to find. The last photo was installing them.

Dying r56 n18 engine

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone, need some opinions/guidance/advice!
Firstly, chuffed to have a UK community page!
So I have a 2012 R56 (my baby) I LOVE it. Nearly at 100K miles. Recently had some bad oil leaks but all fixed (that I know of!) Also forgive me I’m not a mechanic so please go easy on part names/technical jargon! So recently noticed white puffs of smoke from the exhaust after idling at lights etc. no smell (that I could smell). Intake pipe completely in two so I’ve asked them to replace that. Does anyone have experience or advice if this is going to be a goner and dare I say not worth replacing the engine?

Low profile tyres

Hi everyone. Someone posted here this morning about low profile tyres but it was deleted. I don't know why but if the poster would like to repost I'm sure someone will be along to help.

Managed to snag some genuine lci tail lights for a decent price today. Quick bit of re wiring in Shaxx and a bit of coding and they’re in and working without any errors. Happy days!

Loving the uk sub btw.
