Nothing to make me stop driving every day. It can certainly wait until the first service visit. But I will be surprised if I hear that there is nothing wrong.
Anyone else have a noisy front end?
#269 will be at the Project Green event tonight in Manhattan. The event is actually only 3 blocks from where I park every day, so it wont be a very long drive. Hope to see some of you there tonight.
No front end noise but I do hear creaks and noises coming from the back area of the car when we drive over speed bumps.
ReplyDeleteWhen I drive over a speed bump at maybe 10-15 mph, I get an ugly scraping/cracking sound... so I slow to almost 5 mph now. I have not looked underneat yet.

ReplyDeleteIt would be great if more east coast MINI-E pioneers would join us at NEMINI.org. We're the most established MINI club in the NorthEast, and it would be great to see some MINI-E's show up at our local get togethers.

Mike, I have Mini-E #413 in Central NJ. I too had a noisy front end. After my 1st week with the car the flying doctors had to take a look. I was told that there was a bolt that was not torqued properly in the front end. It's been OK for a month now but I recently started hearing something again
ReplyDeleteMichael, I would head back in again. Not something you want coming loose, and I can say that mine as pretty annoying. It's got to be a Mini thing (not unique to the E). I hope they get it fixed for you. Do you keep a blog for #413?
