  3. Windshield Pitting

    Have any other F5x drivers experienced an unusual amount of pitting on their windshield?  Coopah has about 30k miles, many of them highway miles, and the windshield is horribly pitted.  Do these cars have soft glass?  It doesn't appear to be fixable and I may look to have it replaced.  Is this common?

    Yes, Miss.Daisy 03 mini is a magnet for them. I have replaced her windshield 3 times since I adopted her 6 years ago. And my latest replacement already has 3 stone chips!! Thankfully none had spidered and are not in places that interfere with vision. But I do have an issue with my fluid sprayers on the hood! I have to take a needle point and reposition them on a weekly basis. Anyone else have this issue?

    Hi, Happy Super Bowl Sunday 22!! I changed the wiper blades on my 03 mini! I have a question for the group, I cannot seem to keep my wiper washer dispensers on top of my hood aligned to spray where they should? I have used a very thin metal instrument to guide them back to where they need to be and that last for about 24 hours . And we all.know how hard it is to keep our mini windshields clean!! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  And I think I am supposed to have a washer fluid sprayer for my back windshield ? I can hear a light sound of a motor when I turn on the rear wiper but have never seen any fluid dispenser? I have look at my original manual many times but found nothing? I also would welcome any suggestions to a location in Northern VA.or Maryland of someone to get a oil change and not have to take out a second mortgage? HAHA!! Thanks and have a great day!! ✌💖🍄🎼

    I think The gen 3 lights come from the mirrors not the doors so they may not be as easy as the first and second gen.

    Thank you for this info!! You made me less stressed about it. If you know of anyone that you can refer to help me fix my A/C Compresser I would be overwhelmed with gratitude.

    How hard was it to install the puddle lights? Ive been wanting them on mine for a while. Im totally down to pop open my door and try it myself too!

    I checked all the fluids and cleaned it inside and out. I need to replace my driver side door lock on my 2003 mini. Any suggestions or helpful tips would be greatly appreciated.

  11. Entering Birthdate

    in Frequently Asked Questions

    Posted

    Can someone look into changing the section that ask for your birthdate to make it easier to submit?? I wanted to reply to a message I received from the group today and it asked for my BDATE.  Well it would have taken me a very long time to get to the year 64 in the format that is the only way to enter it. ??

  13. Heat issues

    in Maintenance & Modifications

    Posted

    I have been trying to see if my intermittent heat inside of car issues can be solved cheap and easily. I replaced the thermostat, no luck. When it does work, it is mainly on the drivers side vents. Any help is greatly appreciated!! 

    Peace and kindness always,

    So I just purchased my first Mini Cooper and I love my car it is the first one I bought in a long while. I've only been driving it two days (about 76 miles). and i kind of just putter to stop. I'm afraid to see the clutch break so soon. and i don't want to see it go away so soon.

    Here is the details on my car:

    09 Cooper S

    100,500 miles

    according to Carfax the clutch was last replace at around 32K miles but It all the recommended maintenance was taken care at 97,000 miles.

    So my assumptions is immediately at the clutch, but others are thinking it has more to do with the linkage between the stick and gear shitfter.

    Please Help!

    I have had the same issue with my 2003, and I found it in the gear shift knob. The silver part you depress gets stuck.? I'm sure you have already taken care of your issue, but for future info!? ✌️✌️❤️❤️
