How to replace the Side Scuttles of a Mini Countryman F60

Model: Mini Mini Countryman1, R60 - Years 2010-2016
Part: Body

These accessories shown in the video are very particular: they are called side scuttles, they are in fact the "side ports" of the car itself. They can be replaced with original BMW panels or aftermarket ones, which usually reproduce the Union Jack, or the black/white checkered flag. To remove the original ones we must release the clips from their housing using a plastic spatula, so as not to damage the bodywork. We remove the electrical connector and then get the side scuttles to replace them. In BMW they cost just under 300 euros, while for aftermarket ones, we recommend the website minimania.com where by selecting the required spare part for the Mini Countryman, you will find various types available starting from 148 dollars + shipping costs.

How to Reset the Central Locking of the Volkswagen Golf 4?

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
