Mini - Video tutorial

Model: Mini Mini R52, R50, R53 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Headlight
Operation: Faulty headlight replacement

If the glass of the headlight becomes opaque it is necessary to replace the entire assembly. For this operation a socket wrench is required. Open the bonnet and unscrew the headlight retaining screws with the key. Gently remove the headlight paying attention to the cables, which must be unhooked from the connector. Once the cover has been removed, remove the complete headlight block. Gently insert the new headlight very carefully, carefully tighten the screws removed earlier and reconnect the power connector. Then proceed to check that the lamps are switched on and to correctly align the headlight.

How do I unlock the automatic transmission of the BMW 3 Series?

In order to unlock the automatic transmission of the BMW 3 Series, the Start / Stop button and the lever release button must be pressed at the same time. This procedure will allow the car gearbox to be unlocked for about 15 minutes, so that in the event of an engine failure, the car can still be moved. It may be necessary to repeat the operation more than once for its success. After unlocking the gearbox, it can return to its original state by simply waiting for the aforementioned 15 minutes, or by pushing the release lever forward for a few seconds.
