I thought you had a big limited edition aluminium knob Ferg , why didn't you fit that

by **MiniMpi** » Sat Oct 06, 2012 10:42 am

Sadly my limited edition alloy knob will only fit the R50/52/53 MINI as it is a different fitting

I'll give you a tenner for it

Add another €140 to it and we'll call it a deal

Sorting out the classic early R56 interior rattle from the speedo area :

Thankfully all back together

Sadly I haven't got rid of the dash rattle yet

But when I'm fitting my Parrot mki9200 Bluetooth & music system I'll have another go at getting rid of the rattle

Enjoying the car a lot

Even though some would say to drive it with the Sport button on all the time, I enjoy pushing it when I come to a nice twisty road section etc and its just amazing !!

Cleaned the engine bay today :

I have a nice old rattle from my R56 dash too. How easy is it to take off the dash like you did? What did you do to quiet down the rattle? How long does it take? I might get around to it someday!

Not sure i'd have the patience to clean the engine bay as well as you did!

Hi there

Sadly I wasn't successful in getting rid of the rattle

And I tried twice.....!
Going to take it apart again at a later stage and use felt tape this time around the edges of the speedo cover and anywhere else I can find !!
I think it's about 6 torx screws in total, two are hidden under removable covers in the vent in the top of the dash, two behind each decorative dash panel. It's not too bad, first time takes about a half hour

Picked up an eBay bargain of a brand new unused Genuine MINI Sport short aerial

Looks way better.

by **MiniMpi** » Mon Nov 12, 2012 5:32 pm

Also picked up an Aux to Aux lead, good quality gold fittings and nice and tidy to at 30cms so I can finally play my music through my iPhone again.
Works great and will do until I can get my Parrot mki9200 system.
