  • Mini One - 2007 - Electric Panoramic Sunroof 27 Jul 2015 (Forum)
    I have read about tapping it shut with a hammer and screwdriver or taking it to a dealer and them fixing it but charging a fortune to do so. I understand lots of Minis have had this problem with their sunroof but BMW/Mini are not taking responsibility. I just want to close the sunroof for now! Does anyone have any suggestions! Getting desparate now the summer storms have started!

  • BMW's MINI's speedometer. 29 Sep 2006 (Forum)
    I was wondering if I'm alone (probably not) in thinking that the Mini is not the most handsomest of cars? There is now, of course, a revamped Mini about to enter the scene and from the photos in the magazines it looks to me as ugly as it was before. Certain aspects of the interior have been tweaked but I can honestly say that I would never buy any car that persists in placing, no matter how large, a speedometer in the centre of the fascia!
  • Tracing the history of a Mini 11 Jan 2003 (Forum)
    Does anyone know how to find out the history of his current car, i.e., whether it was used in any road tests or brochures, or what the car spent the first six months of its life doing while it was presumably registered to Rover? The BMIHT certificate scheme doesn't appear to apply to Minis after 1969.

  • Japanese mini camper in the snow 29 Jan 2025 (Forum)

  • MINI Cooper - Mini DCT automatic 7 Jun 2019 (Forum)
    Another option is the Toyota Corolla hybrid which I much prefer but doesn't have the fun/wow factors of the Mini/Merc. My wife tried driving it & commented that she liked how it drove so maybe there's hope I can get her one of those. So what does the backroom think?

  • Mini cooper clubman S - Mini - servicing, cost. customer service 19 Nov 2013 (Forum)
    Has anyone else been shocked by the cost of keeping a Mini?    Thanks to the coiled dipstick that makes it impossible, and I do mean impossible to read, I overfilled the oil tank to a tune of 14 litres.
