How to Replace the Heater Radiator in a Mini?

Model: Mini Mini R53, R52, R50 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Heater core

To replace the heater radiator in a Mini, loosen the screws securing the plastic panel located on the side of the footwell on the passenger side: once the screws of this panel have been loosened, you can access the underlying components. Here you will find the heater radiator, which must be freed from the screws securing it to its supports and disconnected from the appropriate pipes; at this point, you can insert and connect the new radiator, ensuring that everything functions correctly.
