How to change the rear bumper of a Mini R50

Model: Mini Mini R52, R50, R53 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Rear bumper

In this video, we see how to change a rear bumper on a Mini R50: as our friendly YouTuber tells us, don't believe those who say that it's enough to remove four screws and the job is done. The four screws are there, but not only those, and then you have to get your hands dirty and break your nails: in short, it's a big job. If we want the bumper for our Mini, we can find it on the tarostrade website. It is listed under the code 68-0507-N-31687 at a price of 80.53 euros (to be painted in our color) + 16.50 euros for shipping. In the end, it's worth it. At that point, we have our new bumper, and here it really is just a matter of tightening the famous four screws. Putting it back in place is much easier.

How to Replace the Timing Belt on a Volkswagen Golf

To perform this simple operation, first lift the bonnet. Then, remove the upper engine cover and the plastic side cover that protects the timing belt. To create more space for the job, you can remove components next to the engine, such as the coolant reservoir, the windscreen washer pipe, and the fuel filter. This will allow you to remove the lower engine cover and the right wheel for better access to the area where you will be working. Now, relieve the tension from the tensioner pulley and remove the belt for replacement.
