    As soon as you mentioned you were fitting parts to a BMW that would last forever an alarm went off in their HQ, parts lasting forever on a BMW is unheard of 😂😂

    This video is one of the most comprehensive and professional Mini Series for DIY'ers I have seen. I will be subscribing, donating and hoping for more content. The pace; clarity of your camera shots surrounding torque specs and repair techniques is too often missed. Love the setting and hope the neighbors are not upset😁

    @10:05 use a shorter extension, or not at all if you don’t need one. Makes torquing a lot easier

    I enjoyed your video , i wish though you had shown how much a struggle it would be refitting the subframe on your own as i,m considering dropping the sub frame on my mini clubman for a clean up as i think it must have spent some time at the bottom of the sea!😀, nevertheless i did enjoy your video .

    Proper job, that, George. You've been most thorough. Thanks very much for a really informative video. The car is coming together nicely, something to look back on as a solid educational experience. Onwards and upwards.

  • @TheVeyron81
    @TheVeyron81 4 місяці тому +1

    Did you treat the inside of the subframe with a cavity wax? As they rust from the inside out too…

  • @elliottpeters2996
    @elliottpeters2996 Рік тому +2

    My only thought was how are you going to get the drives shafts in now you have lovingly built up the entire subframe?

    • @GeorgeAusters
      @GeorgeAusters  Рік тому +1

      Driveshafts go on top of the subframe mate👍🏻

    • @grahameast5631
      @grahameast5631 Рік тому +1

      Very good point, in my experience George would be better off leaving the bottom swivel joints out allowing movement of the front strut. That way when putting the engine and box back in the drive shafts can go in afterwards.

    I’ve really enjoyed your videos about the Mini Cooper S. This is something I would like to do on my own car. Can you give me an idea of cost of the paint and bushes + anything else for the front subframe? Not including any engine work. I’d like to have some idea of cost before I start
    Thanks

    • @GeorgeAusters
      @GeorgeAusters  Рік тому +1

      To refurbish the subframe with all new OEM parts you’re talking in the region of around £500-700 for the parts

  • @alfiembra
    @alfiembra Рік тому +1

    Genuine question and not intended to be a criticism but shouldn’t you have the weight of the car on the hubs before you torque them up to the struts?

    • @GeorgeAusters
      @GeorgeAusters  Рік тому

      That’s usually only for things like bushes👍🏻

    Hi George, do you know the specs for clearances of N47D20C for Main and Big end Bearings, as well as piston Rings, I have been searching the internet and I can't find any.

    • @GeorgeAusters
      @GeorgeAusters  Рік тому

      Ring gaps are in Haynes manual but no oil clearances, think you just have to go off of the journal sizes
