  2. Cabins

    in MOTD 13 (2015)

    Posted

    I ended up with two cabins this year and would love to find someone to take one over rather than give it up the reservation. If you are familiar with Fontana, it's cabin #1012. It's a 2-bedroom, 2-bath. In theory it can sleep 6 and 1/2 people - one king, one queen, one uncomfortable queen-size fold-out sofa and a love seat that is very comfortable provided that you're short or like to sleep in a fetal position. If interested, PM me before March 30th.

    Today I installed MINI's retrofit 25w xenon headlights on my 2009 R56. In theory they were not supposed to work on my production year model at all. Not entirely true. The lights work just fine. However, the module that is on the passenger side footwell sends a fault code when I start the engine that the lights are not operating even though they are. (I get the yellow headlight with an exclamation point but it goes away after a minute or so.) A MINI tech buddy tried clearing the fault code but it returns. Best guess is that the footwell module doesn't play well with the other updated module. Has anyone else run into this?

    ...Will have to wait til I have extra money and can buy the Hero3.

     

    OR...you can buy a $5 raffle ticket or two from The MINI Skirts at MOTD and try your luck at winning a Hero 3 Black while helping a woman in Graham County improve her luck at beating breast or cervical cancer. Just a thought. :proud:

    Keep calling Tapoco...Deal's Gap rooms are scary. Bunk beds and nothing else. I don't even think the rooms have their own bathroom, tho' I could be wrong.

     

    I seem to recall a friend who stayed there saying there was a sign posted by management admonishing guests not to urinate in the sink. How many times does something like that have to happen before management posts a sign? :hmmmm:

    The MINI Skirts are bringing back the musicians jam session. Will you veteran MOTD goers who remember the jam sessions in the past tell me what you liked (or didn't like) about the jam sessions? Why did they end?

  21. Slipping Transmission

    in Maintenance & Modifications

    I need a second opinion.

     

    The patient: 2009 R56 Automatic 102K miles.

    The ailment: Transmission is slipping between 2nd and 3rd from time to time; not so obvious when in sport mode.

    The quick exam: Tech found transmission oil in the wiring plug; said fluid was a color he had never seen before.

    The diagnosis: Transmission oil has infiltrated wiring harness probably due to age.

    The proposed fix: Replace the 2 wiring harnesses in the transmission.

     

    First of all, does this sound reasonable? Why would the fluid be discolored?

    If this is due to age, is it a common complaint for everyone with a 3+ year old transmission?
