Thank you so much for that Richard. I am a bit of a slow learner in life so I try to show every detail that I know I would need to do a job I hadn't done before.
I have come to your videos looking for a clutch hiss. Man, you are the best one explaining how you do the task. I love the way how you mark the different engine bay parts. Really clear instructions. Thank you so much for sharing the information. Sorry for my bad english.
Literally just removed and rebuilt the gearbox on my red Mini One Seven with the getrag gs5. Was on 110k miles. The main noise in the gearbox was the constantly meshed reverse gear idler gear having severely worn Bush and teeth. The diff carrier bearings were also in very poor shape. My noise was more of a rumbling and knocking though, than your noise. I had no metal in the gearbox oil, but the magnet in the gearbox looked like a tribble. Happy to share pics of offending items.
Brilliant, Brilliant, brilliant....... Why have I only just found your channel. The flashing LED sidelight isn't the corrosion, apparently as I understand it on start up the ECU runs a lamp check which pulses power to the lamps and measures continuity. Because LED's require so little power and respond so quickly you see the pulsing! a standard filament bulb has only just finished getting hot by the time the power is pulsed off and by the time its back on again the filament hasn't cooled down enough to stop emitting light so you don't see it! Well that's what I told the MOT examiner anyway
Thank you for the compliment Alan. I read exactly that as well. Sounds like it makes sense to me as a bulb check. I replaced them with standard bulbs before the MOT and kept them in.
Thank you for the compliment AA ZT. If I get the opportunity I would. Would need a repair manual on them though from somewhere and an old gearbox that's broken really. Never know my Getrag might be in this video. Find out soon.
@@neilhampson2843 oh blimey. I jack my cars up on the subframe so hopefully all ok at the mo. What year was yours? Mind mine is 2001 and 2006 so can't get much older lol
@@CoatsandGaiters Hello again. The mini was 2007 on an 07 plate. It spent the first few years near Southport, so I don't think that helped. Not as though you can see the sea at Southport.
Im done watching your engine removal vids on the silver. Now can I please ask you, would it be better removing the transmission alone for me to install a new belt? Or would it be easier to remove the entire engine and transmission for this? Thank you mate for these awesome videos. Best ones I have seen from any person on here. Love your explanations. Please help me to know what would be easier though, as I am about to just remove entire engine. Thanks my friend.
I am ok with cars and got many many tools that i been collecting over the last 12 years but I am not looking forward to doing this job , garage wants £900 to do it , i am not paying £900 to replace a clutch on a 2006 mini cars not worth much more than that , on the plus side i been working on my wifes mini for the last 7 years and other cars for last 12 when things go wrong. i have done a lot of steps all ready when changing the clutch on a mini such as taking the front off to change the radiator fan , taking the ECU out to get to the thermo stat , taking the wheel hub off to drill out the old wheel speed sensor ect , however i think this going to be one of the more Complicated jobs i would of done before i never done a clucth before looks a bit of a nightmare but i am going to give it a go i think i able enough.
£900 !!!! wow that's a bit steep or are they pricing it so high as they don't want the job i wonder. The R50 is lovely to work on I think so you shouldn't have an issue personally if you are well tooled up in any case. R50 is easier than the later models I found.
Absolutely love your videos, you’re a natural presenter with so much detail, but never ‘dragged out’ ⭐️👌👍

Really appreciate the comment and compliment.
*👍 Great video, at first I thought it was an episode of "Batman & Robin" of the motor world 😁😊👍🍻*
Haha Thank you Terry. I thought I'd try to show the two MINI's were being swopped over and it was a totally new job on my hands.

Thank you for that. I'm hoping it's the clutch lol but seem quite unlucky with cars so it's bound to be the gearbox haha

Brilliantly informative 👌
Thank you for taking the time to say so.
AMAZING AS ALWAYS .THANK YOU , if you can do a video building the midland or getrag gearbox step by step that will be great

Another great video. I can't believe how badly the subframes rust on these cars. I have had to replace one because of corrosion.
Thank you Neil. I think it's most surface corrosion. Did yours fail an MOT or did you replace because you felt it was too rusty?
@@CoatsandGaiters Hello again if failed the MOT for being severely weakened, and replaced with a secondhand one.

@@neilhampson2843 so a much newer MINI. I know Southport pretty well and that bumpy undulating road along the sea front.
God bless you

Thank you but which belt are you referring to? is it an auto transmission?
