How to mount a roof box on a Mini

Model: Mini Mini R56, R55, R57 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Body

This video demonstrates how to mount a roof box on a Mini. It is essential to observe the weight limits for loading, but this system allows for a large amount of luggage. An original Mini roof box was found online with code 82 73 2 223 388 priced at £468.46, plus £23.00 shipping to Italy. First, insert the mounting plates into the designated spaces, sliding the screws into the sliding blocks. Then, tighten the fixing bolts without fully securing them on the screws of the sliding block. Check that you can still open the rear hatch after mounting the roof box, and adjust it properly by securing the sliding screws. Once the box is correctly centred, tighten the four fixing bolts over the sliding blocks. The box opens from both sides for easier loading. It is crucial to secure the load to prevent it from shifting while driving.

How to Bleed the Clutch on a Renault Clio?

To bleed the clutch on a Renault Clio, open the bonnet to access the components located in the engine bay: here, you will need to undo the screws that secure the battery in its housing, the intake manifold, and the coolant reservoir. This will allow you to locate the pipe through which the brake fluid flows: by inserting the other end of the pipe into a container, you can press the clutch pedal to expel all the fluid until it fills the container.
