  1. My recommendation is a more recent generation MINI with a warranty if that's what you're after. Posts regarding the R56 and problems encountered by users thus far can be found in this thread. MINIs usually need servicing. Personally, I would look into something else if dependability and cheap maintenance are your highest priorities. But if you're handy around the house and don't mind fixing the typical problems with these cars, they're great fun to own. If that isn't the case, maybe we should reconsider.
  2. Which year is on your mind the most? Read up on the most common problems and issues with the R53 MINI in this excellent buyer's guide.
  3. Convey it to the dealership and request a consumption assessment.
  4. Like you, I've been in a similar situation at roundabouts before. Shrubbery blocked the entrance on my right, and I was about to take the first left exit. Suddenly, cars started zipping by, and the orange chevrons told me to wait until they cleared. That saved me from almost hitting a car on one occasion when the entrance was blocked and in my blind spot.
  5. They are irrelevant to your indicators 👍 and show when traffic is entering from the left or right (usually at intersections or roundabouts).

  7. For over 18 months, I have owned the EV3. Charge with an Intelligent Octopus The Ohme Epod was never a problem to control. We also have an EV2, which functions with the same level of reliability.
  8. When I replaced mine, I noticed that the part had been replaced with a one-piece unit; perhaps yours has too.
  9. There are numerous valid justifications for proceeding from your perspective. Your reasoning regarding being the second owner mirrors the thoughts I had at that moment. Conveniently recharged overnight at home using a three-pin plug. These individuals were of the Kensington and Chelsea ilk, merely utilising the hybrid BIK without concern for fuel or upkeep. My observation regarding the initial proprietors pertains solely to the tax ramifications and expenses for individuals depreciating it via the corporation, alongside the remarkably low Benefit-in-Kind rates for electric vehicles currently, in contrast to 2020 when 560Le models were sold as new. Remarkable automobiles: they exude an air of luxury, distinctly avoiding the appearance of a flattened black potato, as seen in the EQS.
  10. I would not find this agreeable! As stated by SD, I believe that exhaust analysis is included in the MOT; I recommend enquiring with your MOT center.
  11. When you replace the cap's large o ring, be careful to place it in the correct groove.
  12. In keeping with that trend, I had two young men from Eastern Europe come to look at my Boxster before I sold it. There was some faffing about, and someone even asked whether they could turn the car around. As a result, the exhaust would be located further back. Afterwards, they offered me a discount of 25% "because the car was blowing out oil." Sorry, but my autos don't have oil leaks. "Stop, the beginning."Look, "they said, there's oil on the exhaust pipe and on your driveway."Apologies, but the oil is where it is because you kids dropped it. My driveway is free of oil spots. I then instructed them to leave. The following man was just as strange. Upon arrival, he glanced over the vehicle, declined the opportunity for a test drive, and promptly paid the entire asking sum. He arrived and sold the item in only twenty minutes. The contemporary individual purchaser is a mystery to me.
