Just wanted to say hi and introduce myself! I am new to Minis, I got a 2007 Mini Cooper S with 81,000 miles on it back in November and I LOVE it. I got a pretty good deal on it as it needed a wee bit of work, but I love to wrench and did a lot of homework on these before I bought one. Since then I have changed the water pump, thermostat housing (both things i knew when when I bought it) and had to get a new CAS installed (that one was a surprise) and I will be carrying out a timing chain replacement in the next couple months (71.5mm deflection, no guide damage, I replaced the chain-tensioner). I have learned a lot here so far and hopefully I will be able to contribute some good knowledge myself in the coming months/years. It's good to be here!

 

Welcome from someone across the lake! This forum has helped me out a lot, and it sounds like you already know what you're doing so extra big welcome!

 

Glad to meet you! Hey are you a member/do you know anyone who is a member of PSMini or another local club? I am trying to find a good one around here to link up with occasionally.

 

Welcome to NAM, GalacticaActual and congrats on the somewhat recent purchase of your MINI. Sounds like you've put a bit of work into it thus far. I hope the information on the forum was of help to your projects. We'd love to see a few pics of your MINI and the work your done, so post a few why don't you. Happy motoring and please don't forget to promote the MINI wave.
