Good to see you on the mini 👍 Normal to have to drop the gear box oil when removing driveshafts & it's always difficult to remove passanger driveshaft. Don't buy dust shields I have 2 new OEM ones you can have FOC if you want them...
Getting ready to pull my first mini motor and my first question is why you said it was easier to discharge the ac system than to remove the drive belts. Is there some feat of German dumb-gineering that makes that so?
I think it's a myth that you should always replace a dual-mass flywheel along with the clutch. Garages make a profit out of markup on the parts for a job, and the DMF is a convenient sell. However, your one looked completely worn out in both axial and radial play.
@@GeorgeAusters true at the end of the day it all depends on the cost and quality of the replacement parts, and what other things on the car that could better benefit from the money.

George, I’m searching car sales for a mini, and it’s all your fault 😃😂 Another great video.
😂
I wish you lived next door to me....that takes a lot of skill.!.....Ireland.
George, old video for you but what Impact wrench are you using when removing drive shaft nuts?
It's linked in the description mate
@@GeorgeAusters just bought my self a 2007 Cooper S and it’s proving to be a bit of a dog so been revisiting your videos. Keep them coming young man

Saves having to try and swing the AC system out the way
Love this content thanks George !
Glad to hear!
If I was you. When The engien is now oute. How to swap in a another engien? & have The origenale one as spare
No chance.. this is being rebuilt
@@GeorgeAusters it was just a fun idé 😅 i did not say you HAD to swap 😂😅
well done george
Thanks Mark!
How are you keeping track off all the nuts , bolts , screws etc , are you bagging and labelling it all ?
I screw them back in to where they came from :)
Can't wait for more
Coming soon!
congratulations on the work! Can I ask you which type of Mannol oil you use for this car? I use energy formula pd 5w40
Why 5w40? It should be 5w30
I live in Italy. So which mannol oil you will use?
Another good video 👍
Cheers mate!
Nice one George. Very interesting. How did you get to know so much?
Pretty much all self taught / knowledge from my dad
@@GeorgeAusters absolutely brilliant mate, well done!
You wish never started by end off the day😂😅
we have all had that feeling it's awful lol

It’s never always NEEDED but they do wear like you say and it doesn’t make sense to have to do the job twice essentially
