Adjustment of the distribution chain of the Mini Cooper.

Model: Mini Mini R52, R50, R53 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Timing belt

In this guide, we will see some important instructions for adjusting the timing chain and subsequently timing the engine of the Mini Cooper. Before removing the old timing chain, it is necessary to take all the references necessary for timing, indicated by notches on the engine block and pulleys; therefore, if necessary, we replace the chain tensioners and guides. We must also replace the crankshaft oil seal and the distribution casing gaskets, following the video tutorial until the end!

How to Replace the Gear Shift Gaiter of the Honda CR-V

You can purchase an aftermarket gear shift cover complete with a knob, made of leather with coloured stitching. The disassembly is quite straightforward: start by unscrewing the gear shift knob by twisting it. Next, detach the trim at the base of the gear lever by prying along the edges. Then, remove the chrome trim that holds the gaiter in place, peeling off the leather edges from the plastic support. Apply new double-sided adhesive to the plastic tabs to insert and stick the edges of the new gaiter, securing it with the chrome trim. Finally, fit the gaiter complete with the knob onto the gear lever, securing it with the appropriate screws and reattaching the trim to the tunnel support.
