How to Change the Rear Bumper on a Mini R50

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

In this video, you will see how to change the rear bumper on a Mini R50. As our friendly YouTuber says, don't believe those who tell you that you only need to remove four screws and the job is done: there are indeed four screws, but not just those, and you will get your hands quite dirty and possibly break a few nails. In short, it’s quite a task. If you need the bumper for your Mini, you can find it on the tarostrade.it website with the code 68-0507-N-31687 for £80.53 (to be painted in your colour) plus £16.50 for shipping. In the end, it adds up. Once you have your new bumper, it really is just a matter of tightening those famous four screws. Replacing it is much easier.

How to Reset the Central Locking of the Volkswagen Golf 4?

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
