Mini Cooper handbrake cover replacement

Model: Mini Mini R52, R50, R53 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Parking brake

In this video tutorial we will see how to remove and replace the handbrake cover on a Mini Cooper first and second series, in the JCW version. First we get inside the car and go to remove the handbrake boot, unhooking it from the side hooks; then let's slide it forward and remove the fixing clamp with pliers or a cutter. At this point we extract the handbrake cover, removing the top cap, as shown in the video; we just have to replace the handbrake cover and reassemble everything, applying the reverse procedure!

How to Remove the Interior Light of a Mini

Remove the interior light of a Mini: use a screwdriver or plastic lever to pry between the cover and the light itself (avoid damaging the headlining), pull the cover out from the panel and disconnect the power connector after removing it. Replace the damaged bulb with a new one (same size and voltage). Refit the light into its housing (push it in with your hands until the metal clips are fully locked). Test the light's functionality before completely refitting the piece.
