난이도 & 준비물

증상

It has been a while. My last thread here was my Boxster, Jan 2023. I've been on dad duties since then and tbh the Boxster did me so dirty it more or less put me off toy cars for quite some time. 3 years, 4 months and 30 days to be exact at time of writing this. So why the change of heart? Bit of a long story to a question no one was actually asking but I found myself missing something to have a play around with on weekends and faff about with through the summer. The MO was not to spend too much and to find something fun. This Mini ticks both of those boxes. I've been looking for the past 2 we

I had an hour or less after getting home after work before I had "dad dad dad dad can we play football.." when the boy got home from school so I thought I'd do a little investigative work on a 'ching ching ching ching' (we know the sound) I heard on fast right hand turns from the from near side last night. I suspected a loose dust shield but after pulling the wheel off everything look fine, nothing touching the disc so the investigation will continue when I have more time. While I was down there I thought I'd have a quick poke around and just see what sort of shape the underside is inSo what can we see straight away? The dampers (or at least this one) is original to the car. Dust boot is split but top mount isn't completely disintegrated. I'm pretty confident that as part of the front end refresh I'll now be putting on fresh springs, dampers, top mounts all around, possibly OE Bilsteins but we'll see, might go B6 (if that's a thing on these, might a different number, I don't know yet). There's evidence of replacement brake lines which seem to have been done well. As there's only a few clips holding the arch liner in I went one step further and pulled that outLack of care here with the wheel speed sensor and brake pad wear cables, the blue plug out of its holder and the cable loose. Also, the speed sensor cable was going up over the flexi brake line which was stressing it slightly. The retainer tab on the shock body wasn't being employed correctly either. Slight tidy up and the cables are now run a little more pragmaticallyWhile the arch liner was out I gave it a wash and wipe over with AG Vinyl & Rubber careand compared to the other side from the engine bay with the bonnet up I'll be doing a thousand of these little jobs over the coming weeks and months as well as the bigger suspension related items. It's surprising when someone (the seller of the Mini in this case) refers to a car as "really clean" but when you start to look you can see that it's pretty filthy / co
