How to check and refill the coolant in the Mini Cooper?

Model: Mini Mini R52, R50, R53 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Antifreeze coolant

In this video, we can see how to check and top up the coolant in the Mini Cooper, a very simple and quick operation that should be done periodically. Before proceeding, make sure that the engine is completely cool to work safely. Let's start by opening the hood, then locate the coolant expansion tank located right in front of the windshield, in the center of the compartment. At this point, check that the coolant level is between the "MIN" and "MAX" marks. If not, unscrew the top cap and, using a funnel, add the necessary amount of coolant to reach the ideal level.

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.
