How to install the compact bike rack on a Mini Countryman.

Model: Mini Mini R60, Countryman1 - Years 2010-2016

In this video, we see how to assemble the compact bike rack for a Mini Countryman: It is necessary to have already installed the tow hitch, which in Italy must be installed by a workshop that issues a declaration of correct installation (it is no longer necessary to have the vehicle tested by the MTCTC). No special tools are needed for installation, open the bike rack and remove the mounting arms, then mount them on the support clip. Unlock the clamping lever and rotate it upwards. It is ready for installation; you can lift the bike rack and push the support horizontally over the spherical head, aligning it parallel to the bumper and lowering the clamping lever until it engages, and then lock it. Insert the plug into the bike rack and close it, rotating it 90°, then check that all the lights are working; in some countries, it is necessary to install a license plate holder (also in Italy).

Installation of Upgraded Intercooler Radiator with Pipes

Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands, remove the front wheels, and then the front bumper and grille. Proceed to remove the front headlights; drain the coolant, remove the intercooler radiator and the hoses connecting it to the intake system. Position the new intercooler radiator in the grille, temporarily securing it with cable ties, and mark with a marker the part of the metal that needs to be removed to allow the new hoses to pass through. Cut the marked portion of metal and apply a gasket to the edge. Remove the inner cover of the bumper and position it near the radiator to identify any interfering parts to eliminate: again, apply a gasket to the edge of the cut. Create brackets for securing the new radiator and proceed with the installation of the connecting pipes from the radiator to the intake, shaping and connecting them appropriately. Finally, reassemble the bumper, headlights, and grille.
