Model: Mini Mini R55, R56, R57 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Starter motor
Operation: Replacement of the Mini starter motor

We replace the starter motor from inside the Mini's engine compartment if it is damaged. We raise the front hood to access the starter motor. We disconnect the battery clamps for safety. We locate the starter motor, disconnect the starter motor power supply terminals with pliers or screwdriver depending on the pressure of the tabs, unscrew the starter motor locking pins with a socket wrench and remove it from the engine compartment. We assemble the new ignition motor with the connection of the power supply cables and with the attached tightening screws. Before mounting the various covers, let's make sure that the motor works.

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.
