Springfield, Massachusetts, United States
|
I am sure I am close to having her running. This vehicle is cranking, windows, lights, power locks work. horn, Radio powers on! Picked up a cam sensor today and have not installed it yet.
I purchased the car just about a year ago. It came from New Jersey with as a Salvage title (flood). TItle in hand, processed now by State of Massachusetts. I was happy the day of delivery. My electrical engineer friend gave me my stamp of approval and told me I bought a solid car. Upon first encountering water the interior was removed, the majority of the interior is now back in place. There is no odor. (If there ever was a correct way to address a car that took on water this is it.) -popped in a new NAPA battery. At the time, I could not get the dash to light up. Purchased a New Fuse box. Still no dash lights. Purchased matching car computer. still nothing. New ECU from ebay still nothing. Tax seasons came. Got it out of winter storage, and to a local shop. All the cars electrical has been gone over with a fine tooth comb. All connectors have been sprayed and cleaned.Dash lights on:), more parts later Cranking.. Catch up on the bill. grrr. Part comes. Not getting fire to the plugs. Do test I found online on mini forum and test confirms no spark. Another part coil, still no..put in new plugs ..nothing ahh..:( If it is not a this cam sensor or wires (did not pick them up yet) there is a code that is the last 5 digits of the vin. that i need to put in off the new computer from ebay? I don't know but could use the cash more and finish the work on my home.Looks like someone else can get the satisfaction of cruising this down the road. If I got it rolling I was going to toss a new exhaust on her. there is a small hole in but had it on the lift and it is a solid car. just stumped. If you are handy. you can be the genius! Would be a nice vehicle for someone. That computer new from the dealer is 1,400. I priced it. Thought of maybe getting new one or one in it flashed cause it is good. It wanted to run and like the new computer said oops new computer "do not reconize". 100% rating by the way! Thanks for looking. When i get the cash, the title will be overnighted. Shipping must happen 48 hours after payment. Have receipts for work that is already been done. Will have to gather it up. Plus crank sensor registered official mini dealer. Message me with any specific questions. Will try to take more pics and add them if it does not sell this 1st time around. As is, no warranty. Buyer will be responsible for shipping. Have around 10,000-10,500 invested. Message me with any questions. Thanks for shopping! Going to take some more photos this weekend if it did not sell yet? Have a feeling it should be a quick sell! |

Only one small car out of 12 tested earned a good grade in the latest round of crash-test results compiled by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The Mini Cooper Countryman received a "good" ranking on the organization's small-front overlap test.
Automotive April Fools' joke roundup [w/videos]
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Happy April, everyone. And we all know what this first day of the month means: April Fools' Day. Today is a national holiday for pranksters with the Internet acting as a serious enabler, and it's always fun to see what kind of vivid imaginations exist out there in the automotive world. The abundance of fake news gets a little old as the day rolls on, but we did manage to get in a few chuckles thanks to a handful of major automakers and automotive news outlets that got into the pranking spirit this year
Some of our favorites this year includes Subaru showing what happens when you combine a bunch of rumors, a Corvette some may have already thought was a joke or Honda providing some in-car innovation circa the late 1980s. Honestly, we're still waiting for official confirmation from Mitsubishi that the recently introduced 2014 Mirage is an elaborate April Fools' joke using a failed design intended for the 1995 Geo Metro. We dug up as much "official" OEM foolishness we could find, as well as some of our other favorites, and posted them all below.
2015 Mini Cooper Hardtop officially revealed
Mon, 18 Nov 2013There are occasions in life when something happens in the outside world and I think, "Damn. I wish Dad was here so we could talk about this."
In the past 13 years, that's happened every time Mini unveils a new model. And that's been quite often in the 12 years since the car was reintroduced - it has expanded to include seven different models, which is a testament to how quickly the updated Mini caught on. My Dad, who passed away in 1996, loved the brand. His first car was a Mini, and he'd race it in illegal rallies around the Irish countryside in his 20s, before he emigrated to the US and tried to (mostly) stay on the right side of the law.
Mini released photos and specs for the third-generation "original" hardtop car today. The company had to slap in the term "original" in there to differentiate it from the Convertible, longer-wheelbase Clubman, Countryman crossover, Paceman three-door crossover, Coupe and Roadster. Coming out with that many nameplates in 13 years is unprecedented growth for a company that's essentially brand-new in the US.
