How to replace the battery of a Mini Countryman Diesel

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

Before we begin, we will need to open the front hood of our Mini Countryman. So let's start by unscrewing and removing the screws that secure the battery cover, then disengaging and removing the cover itself. After that, we will have to loosen the bolts that secure the two poles to the battery, and then disconnect them. Once this is done, we will have to unscrew and remove the lower bolt that secures the battery. At this point, it will be necessary to remove the battery from the engine compartment, and the disassembly will be finished. To fit the new battery, we will have to follow this procedure in reverse, and we will have completed the replacement.

Installation of Upgraded Intercooler Radiator with Pipes

Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands, remove the front wheels, and then the front bumper and grille. Proceed to remove the front headlights; drain the coolant, remove the intercooler radiator and the hoses connecting it to the intake system. Position the new intercooler radiator in the grille, temporarily securing it with cable ties, and mark with a marker the part of the metal that needs to be removed to allow the new hoses to pass through. Cut the marked portion of metal and apply a gasket to the edge. Remove the inner cover of the bumper and position it near the radiator to identify any interfering parts to eliminate: again, apply a gasket to the edge of the cut. Create brackets for securing the new radiator and proceed with the installation of the connecting pipes from the radiator to the intake, shaping and connecting them appropriately. Finally, reassemble the bumper, headlights, and grille.
