  1. Now I know this is a BMW forum but BMW technically makes them now so guess it counts :) ,

    Two owners! New Zealand New!

    Safe, Cute, Practical and Powerful, what more do you need in a car!

    A beautiful condition MK1 Mini Cooper S!

    Don’t let its age mislead you, beautiful car!

    Handles amazing, plenty of power when you need it!

    Full service history from Team McMillan Mini!

    Has no silly import problem as its NZ new.

    Has only done 106,000kms

    It’s has a few tiny nicks here and there as it’s been mums daily car. Mum has loved owning it as it’s as safe as any 04 BMW with all the small hatchback benefits! It was BMW Mini’s premium model and the quality hasn’t changed.

    We have owned it since 60thou kms and have well over $5000 worth of receipts, including regular services, Power steering pump, New super charger pulley and belt, All new pads and brakes. This car will easily do another 150thou kms without any major work needing to be done.

  2. Well ive got the gearbox now but now for the real noob question.... How do i get it out easily?

    Eg. undone all the shaft bolts and most of the bell housing bolts but I can't get at 1 starter-motor and the top bolts.

    Do i need to take the intake manifold off? or could i just lower the engine and gearbox 2geather and get to them that way??

    Its been a year or 2 since i last did this.... and have kinda forgotten how i did it last time.


  3. Do it with a hoist! so much easier :lol: . And also take the engine out at the same time and give it a good clean/de-grease, replace and parts/hoses that need doing as its so much easier with the engine out...


  4. I have a set off wheels i'm wanting to refurb, they just need quick sand blast.

    Does anybody know of/recommend any particular companys/people??

    I will be looking for a cash job..

    EDIT..

    Sandblasting done now trying to decide between powder coating or just primer and paint.

    Any ideas? views?

    Cheers
