How do you replace the timing chain of the Mini One?

Model: Mini Mini R52, R50, R53 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Timing belt

In order to replace the timing chain of the Mini, it is necessary to lift the car so that it is possible to loosen the screws that secure the front right wheel of the device: once the screws have been removed along with the wheel, it will be possible to find the corresponding wheel arch, which must be removed from its housing to locate the chain underneath. The chain can now be removed by loosening the tensioner and sliding it off the corresponding gears; once the new chain is inserted, it can be tensioned again to ensure that everything is functioning properly.

How to Install Roof Bars on a Fiat 500L

Learn how to fit universal roof bars on a Fiat 500L. These bars are used on vehicles with or without roof rails. Assemble the roof bar kit (as shown in the video) with bars adjusted to the width of the vehicle (measure with a tape measure). Position the brackets at both ends of the doors on the vehicle's original roof rails. Once the anchoring bracket width is set, tighten the bolts with a butterfly nut (if a lock is present) until fully secured to the roof rails. Fit safety caps on both sides.
