Re: Help with replacing the cahin on a 2009 Mini Cabrio R57

One more for the FAI set. They gave me advice on them when I was working on ours. It was a great fit for flawless adaptations from the start and has remained such for the past three years.

Re: Break Light for the R230

The Chinese company Applianpar Direct, which I purchased from Amazon, must have a presence in the United States because my order arrived in just two days. I'm in for $22.

Re: The brand of B57D30A oil?

None of the engine's approved specifications call for 5W-40 oils.

These two oils are well-known and easy to find:

5W-30 Mobil 1 ESP and Pennzoil Euro L, both with the code LL-04

Re: Got a new transfer case, but it's still shaky.

For those who are still following: What I've gathered is that rear e-diff clutch chatter is a typical cause of this judder (pulling away and turning), and that changing the clutch fluid and readjusting the calibration usually takes care of it. As a preliminary step in diagnosing the problem ...
