haha...same at UQ right now...but I'm in Ipwsich campus...which is quite boring here...

[felixy]

if I get the goo and air compressor kit...I still need a jack to lift the car... is there a jack that only for Mini? or jus any of them are alrite...?

[scolburn79]

Your car should have come with a jack, it will be in the boot area

[felixy]

they didn't give me the jack, they jus gave me some of the tools...they said my car doesnt come with spare tyre and using runflat tyre... it is unncessary to have the jack...

The R56 does not have a jack because it has run flats, if you just go a little 12v pump and some goo that goes in the tyre it will get you home. The run flat tyres are about 4 times as heavy as a normal tyre. If I had run flats I would ditch them and go the Adrelin AE01 tyre from bridgestone from what iv seen they handle, wear and are a realy good all round tyre.

I have no idea which tyre is leaking... I decided to take it to Mini garage have a check first... I've bought my mini around half year... got too many problems on tyres...sucks...
I will change the tyre until I've ordered the R113... =] how much is the Adrelin AE01 tho?

Thanks for chiming in mate. I didn't know they didn't supply the r56 without a jack. They must have ditched in trying to get the HP up on them, it sounds like they need it from what Minipnut was telling me tonight!!! Told you not to bother with that Uni Q Chip steve!!!!

When I helped install my S-lites on Howards '05 R50 he had the 15" 5 spoke stock wheels without run flats, he also had the jack and goo kit with compressor that came stock. I had runflats on my S-lites when I got the car and got a jack as well. Strange.

zgood 'l Motorline never provided that for me. Even though there was a hole in the foam for one. If i wanted a jack they said i had to pay for it as an extra. Said the Runflats were all i needed.
Good 'ol Motorline eh!
