NOT EVEN 50K MILES AND WANTING GEARBOX REBUILD!! SURE IS A MINI ADVENTURE......

[@bambibigboy]

That hanging torch cracked me up. Love it. Have a great weekend mate. Cheers, Craig 👍🏼🙂

[@brickers911]

When BMW took over mini they wanted to give the customer the authentic mechanical experience as well as retro looks, but at a premium price.

[@Wiltshire-observer]

I like Baz’s videos, they have that “Blue Peter” style about them - you are encouraged to do the task yourself. However ! - nearly all of the tasks need professional garage tools, but even so, fun to watch.

[@ifoundmytv]

The trouble with mini and bmw is that they don't sell replacement parts for the inside of the box. That's why you had to wait longer as it takes us longer to find the right people selling the aftermarket parts 👌

[@CharlieHarper-d4x]

Im convinced gearbox oil should be replaced more often.

[@Zgurkogel]

True fact. Last weekend I changed the gearbox oil in my girlfriend's 2006 Mitsubishi Colt CZ3. The alledged "filled for life" gearbox oil came out completely black. Poured in fresh oil and the sent the girlfriend for a spin. She came back raving about how easy it now is to select gears. Lesson learnt, don't wait 18 years before changing gearbox oil. Just do it every year or so (just like brake fluid) because £15ish for 2 litres of Castrol's finest is a bargain and you get a happy partner too, which counts as a great result. 🙂

@@Zgurkogel this year i changed the gearbox oil in my 2010 Punto Evo with only 25k on the clock it was black. Think il change it every 3 years .

[@stevesmith4596]

You're a fantastic technician Baz!!

[@dominicbarne5218]

What about the M32 in the vauxhalls that was made by cadburys 😂 now that is top of the tree for junk gearboxes

With Reference To Presentation I Find Going Round The Top Engine Bay Area With A Small Dry Paint Brush Makes A Big Difference Just Stipple It In Corners

Great job as always Baz 👍

Had to do a thermostat replacement on a mini one recently... awful cars to work on

[@marcmorris-kb9ry]

Why would anyone even buy one?.....just buy a Corolla and change oil and almost nothing else😂😂😂😂

[@GhostLead65]

Exactly.

Why someone buy iphone when they can buy android phone. Same as mini, lifestyle.😂

[@ihsanpenny9945]

Interesting as always Bazarooney. Any theories Baz as to why this failed? Think i put a comment on the short that the getrag manual 6 in my 2010 bmw n47 diesel failed at 140k miles. Bearings went and they did a few synchro while there. The auto zf boxes seem to be good for 200k easy with servicing. Just find it such a shame that a gearbox could fail at 140k in my case. And i even serviced it at 60k then 100k

[@peterarries7879]

Nice one Baz great content as usual

[@itswais77]

So on the mini, the engines are crap, clutches don’t last long, hearing gearbox problems, subframes rot, suspension is a nightmare to work on, overpriced brand new with costly repair bills, is it really a car you should be buying?

[@brickers911]

Absolutely agree, but the girls love em?

[@toeknee6588]

Bit like the old minis really.

[@jamesbaggaley1460]

R series definitely not. F series is much better.

[@chrism5433]

I've seen similar issues in Canada . Gear box ,chains and more. Thing customer don't want to repair it lol

[@adamlittle4267]

Neaver had issues with our mini everything original eaven the front brakes had car 12 years .

[@markaddy53]

great job as always lad keep up the good work next video please

[@Howt-ooo]

Class job mate

[@bazmeredith]

Cheers buddy

[@hedydd2]

Why did synchro go at less than 50k miles? Is it due to abuse such as changing down forcibly at inappropriately high speed?

[@chrism5433]

How about alignment after subframe out ?? 😅

[@derekgb3780]

No expert, but I thought the early Mk1s had Rover gearboxes that weren't good but then they switched to Getrag ones for Mk2 onwards.

[@notrut]

Is it a Boy/Girl racer who crashes away from the lights without dipping the clutch properly?

[@taylorkay891]

I kinda like doing the clutches in these 😂

[@cabottaxi]

Neighbour on one side got a Mini and one on the other side has a Range Rover. Between them they keep the local garage in business.

Absolute Garbage Vehicles

[@cypeman8037]

They're so much of a garbage car that one of my female relatives has had several, and none have disappointed her in the breaking down department, fuel pump, clutch, rust, electrical gremlins blah, blah, blah. You can't understand her loyalty.

[@DavidElleker]

i have never driven any mini with a good gearbox they are just like a 1970 mini box just crap

[@awaisdon2868]

My Mini Cooper S R53's gearbox was absolutely wicked. The gearshift was sharp and direct without any slop. I can't say the same about most cars I've driven.

[@itswais77]

I hope you didn’t put the lockers back in lol

[@itswais77]

After seeing this, I think ima stick to buying Toyotas and Hondas, even Hyundai ain’t that bad (Hyundai diesels are trash)

[@bazmeredith]

I think I've just replied to your email.....

[@GhostLead65]

These non British Minis literally are a POS.I,m yet to see anything good on them or something that doesn,t fail. Mighty Car Mods and Car Ninja hate them. One thing is for sure and that is that car don,t suit you Baz haha.

[@bazmeredith]

😂😂😂 I'm a bit to big for them 😂
