You guys and gals have a very nice site that seems very informative. I am from the Netherlands and have a slight problem with our Mini. Well it is actually my mom's and it is driving me crazy. Ever since we decided to sell it half a year ago (due to the fact that we kind of need the money and that it is becoming a project) it has been breaking something while I fix the other.
Since we have decided to sell these parts have broken:
- Battery (not even that old)
- Alternator
- Starter
- Handbrake
- 2 flat tires
- Left motor of the electric sunroof
- And the newest case: Clutch
Anyways my problem with the clutch is I took a look at it (full time student that doesn't have days to spend on it) and I am not sure what is wrong. The clutch is fully engaged. So I can go through the gears while not even pressing the clutch, the clutch pedal is also rock solid and down on the ground. I can get any movement in the pedal. Is this a common problem with Mini's? Oh yeah and also seems to have developed a leak as the trunk keeps becoming a small swimmig pool...
The problem is I love the car but it is really starting to get to me, we have enjoyed it for years without any problems and now that we decided to sell it has been nothing but a *Female doggy*. Could any of you please help me out?
Kind regards,
Arthur
*Note that all these parts have been breaking while not even being driven we have put about 100miles on it in the last 1 1/2 years. Also a reason to sell as it should be appriciated more, it deserves better than to be left rotting in the driveway.
*Note 2 It is a 1995 Mini Cooper 1275Spi
