Hi Scotty, Are 2012 mini cooper s clubman vehicles good/reliable? My mom owned it and put 3,000 miles on it and kept in garage for 3 years. Then she gave it to me for school and it now has 51,600 miles on it so far. I accelerate softly (no 0-60 runs ever), change full synthetic oil my self every 10,000 miles or once a year which ever comes first. No mechanical problems yet. Changed battery once so far but noticed it taking longer to start so I took it to an Interstate Batteries and their machine showed it was not putting out 550 crank amps so I will be replacing the battery soon. Should I be looking for a new/used car that is more reliable? Should i be prepared for an expensive fix soon? Thank you for your videos!!! I used your car battery video to see how to tell the age of a battery before I buy one :) I know the vehicle is old, has some miles, but the AC runs in the summer, heated seats are nice in winter, but I just cant afford an expensive repair so that is why if you recommend something, I will look into it. I am in Arizona btw. Thanks!!!

Fan belts and drive belts are 2 different things, drive belts connect the whole system using one belt while fan belts connect specific components like alternator to the crankshaft or compressor to the crankshaft using multiple belts

[@Alasdair-Morrison]

@@Ivan-jp1dj The term Fan belt is used more just as an expression now. I preferred the old skool days with proper belts.

[@bassangler73]

A thing I always do is when I replace the serpentine belt I put the old one in the vehicle somewhere along with the necessary tool to loosen the tensioner in the vehicle, that way you always have a spare

You will never use it. If ur car shreds a belt or tosses one you have bigger issues than just slapping on a spare belt. Locked up pulley, something broken or misaligned. They don’t just snap or slip and wear out for no reason. Just put a new one on every 60-100k and don’t worry about it.

[@NOLL72]

Something I notice quite often, usually at night when a car is coming at me, is a vehicle having one headlight brighter than the other. That's usually because the owner replaced a bulb and accidentally installed the new one upside-down because they likely didn't pay attention to the indexing notches.

[@terencejay8845]

It won't be Hispanic, because they have 'Buenos notches'.

[@ronstermonster7008]

I prefer changing bulbs in pairs. I don't like having a brighter new bulb paired with an older bulb that is noticeable dimmer

One more thing Scotty....when the belts are being replaced,it's a very good idea to change the water pump in the same time as well! Even if it's in good condition,you'll never know when it will break down,and by replacing it in the same time as the belt,saves a lot of money on labour!

[@stevensevek6151]

I believe that advice only applies when the water pump is driven by a timing belt and the timing belt is being replaced. The labor to replace a timing belt is very high compared to the cost of replacing a serpentine drive belt.

Scotty, I'm a believer in replacing at a lot of parts in pairs (i.e. light bulbs, brake pads, etc.) I'm reminded of the logic my Uncle once used on his Doctor. When told the pain in one knee may be due to old age, he replied, "Doc that can't be right, this other knee is as old as that knee and it doesn't hurt. Of course my logic is that the adjacent light bulb has the same number of hours of service, so it must be near its end of life.

Thank you Scotty your videos are very helpful regards

Agree on changing both bulbs, but only coz of WEAR. If one dies, the other will soon coz of wear. Story about electricity in the bulb... Meh not so much. Greetings from the Netherlands.

Honesty is a rare thing nowadays, it's priceless to know people who can speak the truth, it's a breath of fresh air, all people trying to rip You off it's sick, Even at the grocery store

Hi Scotty, I'm in England and we get advice from guys over here but not as funny as you, simple and straightforward, can watch for hours.

[@aaronhupp2003]

@Scotty Kilmer You remind me of my uncle lol and as a matter of fact he was from Alief, well, born there. Thank you for being kind, funny and most of all honest. I knew some mechanics are shady but you have opened my eyes to just how insidious some folks in the automotive industry are. I've watched at least 80% of your videos so far and I will see em all. I pray that you wear off on some of these young people cause they sure do need it. May you rev up your engines for a long time to come buddy. Thanks for making me laugh my butt off while being educated.

Top tip: you can change one bulb, for example if the head light bracket is broken. The bulbs are gone. Stops them from going out. Seen today on a Ford Fiesta and Saab 93!

You’re helping us Scotty, that’s a good thing.

A Mechanic Named Sue. In 1998 I went to a service center called Brake King with a 78 Volvo 242 . I found out what they SHOULD have been called. They broke off the nipple on 2 calipers and said I needed a set of calipers as well as the brake fluid change and hoses I went in for. BREAK King. 😒

[@rays7437]

Those bleeders often break off. No need to replace the caliper though, just replace the bleeders. Sounds like they just wanted to sell parts.

The brake caliper locked up on my fiance's Buick Rendezvous on the driver's side I changed just that one and she drives like nothing happened. Good advice if they ain't both bad just change the one.

At 9:05 Scotty if you have a old car you can go to a "Junk Yard" and get Injectors shows Chevy Dealer

[@garylangley4502]

I got very lucky at a self service wrecking yard once. I was looking for a part for my 2003 Hyundai Sonata. I was planning on buying new struts in a few months and replacing them, but not at that time. I found another car like mine, and someone had replaced just about everything in the steering and front suspension. It was so recent, that the parts only had a little dust on them. I pulled just about everything, paying less for all the parts than I would have spent for just a set of new struts.

[@rusty358]

You can replace the rubber parts for calipers at much lower cost if rust isn't a problem.

[@keyskeel2748]

Hi Scotty. I have owned 4 Lexus LS400s. 1989-1996. The ECUs have a problem with the “can capacitors”, they start to leak. I have replaced them with high quality Japanese ones and this seems to work well. I know your no a fan of rebuilt computers, but I’ve found this to be an exception. Love your videos. Keys
