  1. You are allotted a certain duration to bring back the car in case it encounters any problems. I find it to be a favourable proposition. The preferred car is delivered to your location, and you have the opportunity to inspect and report any issues. It must be superior than wandering around vehicle showrooms, enduring traffic, and interacting with unpleasant or arrogant salespeople.
  2. My brother purchased a Cooper S from them and then traded it in for an Audi TT. Despite not purchasing the Abarth from them, they accepted it as a trade-in for the Cooper. The old automobile is removed and the new one is delivered, which pleases him. He diligently completes his homework, enabling him to have a clear understanding of what he is searching for. Although he is not a vehicle enthusiast, he is a designer who has a keen eye for detail and does not overlook any shortcomings in the state of a car. He is rather meticulous and particular. He is quite satisfied with Cinch and intends to use their services again.
  3. Not necessarily...it could be rigid at the actuator. I recently had an enjoyable experience with a 1.6 HDI car.
  4. I have a few acquaintances who were adamant about retaining all of their expired tax CDs throughout their whole lifetimes. Feeling rather melancholic - Truly.
  5. Plastic will always be present in the intercooler, since it is located at the lowest position after the turbocharger. If you need to replace the intake pipes, it is advisable to get aftermarket ones, as they are more durable compared to the factory ones, which are prone to breaking. Aftermarket intake pipes are often made of rubber or silicone.
  6. I use pressured air to expel debris by means of a lengthy tube attached to an air line blower. Alternatively, one might utilise a substance such as brake cleaner. This involves procuring a 5-liter container, obstructing the orifice, pouring the cleaner within, and agitating it. To cleanse the pipes, one may affix a cloth to a length of rope and draw it through, yielding satisfactory results.
  7. In order to properly clean the intake pipes, it will be necessary to remove any plastic debris that may have accumulated in the intercooler and pipes.
  8. Only authentic JCW cars are equipped with a larger 211bhp compressor. Therefore, if a Cooper S is listed as having 174bhp to 184bhp, it is essentially the same. I have personally used Mellet products extensively and they have proven to be reliable. Alternatively, you could consider contacting Motorparts Direct and inquire about a remanufactured turbo. Specifically, if you call MPD in Callington and mention that Mini Mike recommended their remanufactured turbos, they will provide you with a price for a complete turbo if that is the method you prefer for fixing it.Avoid purchasing the £250 turbochargers from China online since they have a short lifespan.
  9. There is a distinction between JCW (John Cooper Works) and non-JCW models. The ordinary Cooper S model has a smaller compressor.
  10. Indeed, that plastic object has passed through your turbo impeller. https://www.ebay.com/itm/391074256244?hash=item5b0dd79574:g:2X8AAOSw6WFZ~J1-&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&campid=5338767388&toolid=10001&customid=130832X1595941X54cc4621552821ad56ccf8a54e7d9786
  11. The most cost-effective method is to install a mellet chra.
  12. The turbo has malfunctioned due to the plastic debris that has entered the intake pipe. It is probable that restoring the turbo oil pressure would resolve the issue.
  13. I resolved my issue by using mapping techniques. However, the potential causes might vary, ranging from a vacuum leak to a boost sensor or MAF sensor malfunction. These components are interconnected, including pressure converters, which may also contribute to the problem.
  14. Has the vehicle been remapped?This code was one of the ones I had when there was a problem with the map.
  15. In my view, determining the price for this vehicle is challenging due to its mileage and engine problem. However, apart from those issues, it seems to be in decent shape. What is the selling price for running variants with similar mileage and specifications?
  16. While I do not really like black wheels, one advantage is that they do not show brake dust.
  17. Elaborating noun Auto detailing refers to the meticulous cleaning of both the inside and outside of a car, as well as doing small repairs to enhance its overall look. According to the definition, it just has to be free of dirt and not subjected to paint correction or polishing/waxing.
  18. I prefer to clean my automobiles instead of detailing them, since I do not reside in the United States. Is it expected for them to have a glossy appearance?...I have seen that Mercedes offers a range of alternative finishes for its wheels, ranging from a matte appearance to a very glossy finish.
  19. It is commendable that you are not up to date with what is required. It is often easy to postpone or neglect some matters. I believe you need tyres and brakes.
  20. Greetings, friend. I am experiencing the same problem with jerky movements. Have you successfully resolved the issue you were facing?
  21. The gearbox oil has to be changed after driving 20 km.
  22. Begin cleaning the breakers. Subsequently, get a bodyshop to accommodate their needs.
  23. It is essential to ensure that the tyres are inflated to a higher pressure level within the permissible range, sometimes referred to as a 'laden automobile'. Additionally, replenish the gasoline tank with high-quality fuel such as Shell V-Power or BP Ultimate, or alternatively, add fuel additives like Redex, Millers, or Forte.
