Here it is! Vehicle you always wanted and I can not longer afford so must sell! I am sure I am close to having her running. This vehicle is cranking, windows, lights, power locks work. Radio powers on! Mini dealer in CT told me I have a really good car. Really want to keep it, but need the money more at this point. OK! Here is the Skinny on this vehicle.

I purchased the car just about a year ago. It came from New Jersey with as a Salvage title (flood). TItle in hand, processed now by State of Massachusetts. I was happy the day of delivery. My electrical engineer friend gave me my stamp of approval and told me I bought a solid car. Upon first encountering water the interior was removed, the majority of the interior is now back in place. There is no odor. (If there ever was a correct way to address a car that took on water this is it.)

-popped in a new NAPA battery. At the time, I could not get the dash to light up. Purchased a New Fuse box. Still no dash lights. Purchased matching car computer. still nothing. New ECU from ebay still nothing.

Tax seasons came. Got it out of winter storage, and to a local shop. All the cars electrical has been gone over with a fine tooth comb. All connectors have been sprayed and cleaned.Dash lights on:), more parts later Cranking.. Catch up on the bill. grrr. Part comes. Not getting fire to the plugs. Do test I found online on mini forum and test confirms no spark. Another part coil, still no..put in new plugs ..nothing ahh..:(

Thinking maybe wires next? Or...or...there is a code that is the last 5 digits of the vin. that i need to put in off the new computer from ebay? I don't know but could use the cash more and finish the work on my home.Looks like someone else can get the satisfaction of cruising this down the road. If I got it rolling I was going to toss a new exhaust on her. there is a small hole in but had it on the lift and it is a solid car. just stumped. If you are handy. you can be the genius! Would be a nice vehicle for someone. That computer new from the dealer is 1,400. I priced it. Thought of maybe getting new one or one in it flashed cause it is good. It wanted to run and like the new computer said oops new computer "do not reconize". 100% rating by the way! Thanks for looking. When i get the cash, the title will be overnighted. Shipping must happen 48 hours after payment. Have receipts for work that is already been done. Will have to gather it up. Plus crank sensor registered official mini dealer. Message me with any specific questions. Will try to take more pics and add them if it does not sell this 1st time around. As is, no warranty. Buyer will be responsible for shipping.

Have around 10,000-10,500 invested. Message me with any questions. Thanks for shopping! Going to take some more photos this weekend if it did not sell yet? Have a feeling it should be a quick sell!

Mini fesses up to Countryman clutch issue, plans fix

Sat, 10 Nov 2012

Aside from the general lack of snow in the Midwest earlier this year that hampered our ability to properly play with our Blizzak-equipped Mini Contryman long-term test vehicle, the biggest problem we had with this crossover during the year we spent with it was the transmission. On four different monthly updates (September, October, November and June), all in the hands of different Autoblog editors, the Countryman's clutch was called out for being too finicky, leading to many stall outs. Apparently, we weren't alone in our assessment of the Countryman's clutch woes.
According to MotoringFile, Mini has updated the Countryman with a different clutch material and improved software. This much-needed change is being implemented starting this month, but Mini hasn't said what it is doing about existing 2011 and 2012 Countryman models that are afflicted with this problem.
Head over to MotoringFile to see the full official statement from Mini USA on this issue.

2020 Mini Cooper S E caught completely uncovered at photo shoot

Tue, May 28 2019

Thanks to one of our spy photographers, the wait to see Mini's latest electric car is now over. The 2020 Mini Cooper S E was caught completely uncovered during an apparent photo shoot, probably for press and marketing materials. The finished car isn't all that different from the regular 2019 Mini Cooper hatchback and convertible, but it does have a few unique features. From the front you'll immediately notice the filled-in grille. It's bisected in the middle by a highlighter yellow stripe that contains a small opening, just like on the concept. It's basically the inverse of a gas-powered Mini's grille. There's also a circular medallion attached to the grille indicating its electric powertrain. The only other exterior changes include the electric logo debossed in the fuel-filler door, which is obviously now a charging port cover, and the wheels, which are smaller versions of the asymmetric pieces seen on the concept. Otherwise the metal body panels, bumpers, lights, windows and everything else on the body is taken directly from the regular Mini hatch. Since Mini is taking official photos of the car, we expect it's pretty much finished and ready for launch very soon. That would be in keeping with Mini's statement that the car would launch this year. The Frankfurt Motor Show this fall would be a possibility for the release, but we wouldn't rule out something even earlier. Details about the powertrain are scarce. We'd love to see similar specs to the 2009 Mini E, which made 204 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque, and had a range of around 150 miles. That said, reports indicate the 2020 Mini Cooper S E will borrow the drivetrain from BMW's i3, which would mean 168 hp, 184 lb-ft, and a range of around 114 miles from a 33.8-kWh battery pack. We'll find out for sure soon enough.

Mini recalls select 2015 Cooper Hardtops over seats

Fri, Dec 19 2014

The new Mini Cooper Hardtop only recently reached the market, but already BMW is having to recall a limited number of the hatchbacks. The problem revolves around the front seats, whose adjustment mechanism may not fully lock into place. In the event of an accident, that could lead to the seatback folding unexpectedly, which carries with it an increased risk of injury for the driver and front passenger. The issue only affects the new 2015 Mini Cooper, specifically two-door Hardtop models manufactured in the short window between August 12 and September 2, 2014. That amounts to only 846 units, according to the notice posted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which you can read below. Owners of the affected vehicles will be notified to bring their Minis into their local dealership to have the seatback adjustment mechanisms realligned and tightened to remedy the problem. RECALL Subject : Seatback may Fold in Rear Impact Crash Report Receipt Date: NOV 10, 2014 NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V721000 Component(s): SEATS Potential Number of Units Affected: 846 Manufacturer: BMW of North America, LLC SUMMARY: BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain model year 2015 MINI Cooper Hardtop 2 Door vehicles manufactured August 12, 2014, to September 2, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the driver and front passenger seatback adjustment mechanism may not be fully engaged. CONSEQUENCE: If the seatback adjustment mechanism is not fully engaged, the seatback may fold during a rear impact collision, increasing the risk of injury to the seat occupant. REMEDY: MINI will notify owners, and dealers will re-align and re-tighten the seatback adjustment mechanisms, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in December 2014. Owners can contact MINI customer service at 1-866-825-1525. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
