Always hear good things about ap’s tbh, your mini looks very tidy!

Not sure it was quite that drastic, but it was enough to make me think, f**k that,! I’ll live with it.

Yeah i did about 18 month, cant remember what they said it was, it was an expensive fix though, and i think it was a main dealer job, we decided to leave it and see how it went, never got any worse, so we never bothered sorting out. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Our galaxys the same with regards to the heavy steering every now and again, great cars as far as people carriers go, going to run ours into the ground! Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

For normal road use, ap coilovers are supposed to be superb, there about £400-500, id of been tempted by them myself but im hoping to do a few track days at some point, which is more what the meisters are focused to. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Got the car back from coastal racing today, basically the crankshaft pulley had seen better days, had a few dents and in it here and there, which was causing the belts to get shredded, whilst they where there they replaced the idler pulley and tensioner pulley and stuck a new belt on, expensive...

Thats a fucker mate! Hope you get it sorted and back on track, i may well be visiting him before you then. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Are you still booked in here? 18th's a sunday, is that a missprint or they open sundays? Be interesting to see how you get on, I've just been qouted £300 to fit/set up coilovers to the mini, although they have rear damper extension adjusters which need drilling through to the boot for access...

The latest bill for the work carried out, was more than I expected seens as it just went in for a service, but at least I know any faults have been rectified,and even more so after coastal check it over on thursday ( expecting another decent sized bill ) Anyway hopefully these meisters that are...

Mines a 15% pulley mate, so looks like it’s had the wrong belt on for a bit.

Its a jcw/gp belt 11%, so yeah wrong belt for mine Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Could be this or what you said via pm Like I said it’s drove fine since I’ve had it, my guess is some garage since lohen last had it have replaced the belt with the wrong one presuming 6pk1375 is the wrong belt? And I’ve just had the exact same thing done today ffs. All will be well next week.

The cars back and it sounds/drives fine, the belt that they removed from it was a dayco 6pk1375, so not the one lohen put on it 6pk1368, so somewhere along the way its been changed, presume 6pk1375 is standard size belt? Regardless the car drove spot on with the old belt on, seems ok with the...

Appreciated mate

Went down this morning to see them and told them it should have a shorter belt on, showed them which belt it should be, the problem seems to be the pulleys are not lined up straight, so the belts catching, the belt that had come off it had lost a groove if that makes sense ( they come with 6...

It has the standard size belt on now I’m presuming, I’ll go down to the garage 1st thing in the morning and explain it needs a different size belt, what concerns me also is why they think lohen had put the other belt on wrong, and what they’ve altered about it. Definitely taking it to coastal...

That’s great to hear, so would the noise just stop as they reckon it has? I’ve had visions of me picking the car, driving up the road and it going bang, and me being left with a fucked engine. My stress levels have just halved at least! Cheers lol

So the mini was due a service and a wheel bearing, i presumed taking it to my local garage would be a straight forward job, rather than driving miles to a specialist. Dropped the mini off this morning, rang the garage up at 3pm to see how they where getting on. Where just putting a fan belt...

I did silverstone years ago in my mk1 clio 16v, i went with a mate in his redtop nova, regardless of the massive difference in performance the clio left the nova after the 1st bend, had an awesome battle with a integra type r and 106 gti, dont think anything passed me on the day. This was...

Whats the volvo? Im not convinced by the bm im afraid, but that could all be changed with new wheels, but hats off to you for buying out of the mainstream again, look forwatds to the next car, next week. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Would love to try an integra at some point. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

How do they compare performance wise? Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Im one of the many whos returned over the years, from all sorts of cars, mr2 turbo, sapphire cossie, r26 etc. Last car purchase was between a clio or an r53 mini cooper s, decided to go for the mini in the end for a change, and found a good spec one and the potential for a bit more grunt is...
