Yeah, two questions:
1. Who crashed the MINI the other day on "black ice"?
and
2. Is it true that Keith wears white panty hose?

Hi Bob Mini Tech


I have a 2004 MC, 16,000 miles bought from Mini of Peabody....lately the stock non-HK radio has static on the FM...is intermittant...when I first turn the car and drive off, it is fine, but after 5-10 minutes, get background static.....if I pull over and stop the car and shut off the motor, the radio is nice and clear...then if I re-start the car, sometimes the static comes right back, other times I have another 5 minutes of quiet before the static comes back....it isn't terribly loud, just kind of in the background

are there noise suppressors on the car some place, or any other ideas??

thanks

Hi , this is concerning the static question. Turn on the vehicle and see if the static is worse when you turn on the rear defrost. There is an antenna in the rear glass and an amplifier in the hatch its self. IF the antenna in the glass is at fault, when you turn on the rear def. the static in the radio will change. that is the most common problem ive seen.

Bob....thanks...,I will check tomorrow....but I don't use the rear defrost too often....if putting on or off the rear defroster doesn't do anything, what other ideas?...again the radio does get perfectly quiet when the engine is turned off .....I'll check tomorrow and get back to you

thanks

Hi Bob,

I've noticed sometimes when I open my driver door, I can hear the CD player eject mechanism activated. Also, sometimes when I get in the car, I notice the needle on the speedo jump. Is that normal?

Hi Bob,

Who kicked Gary upstairs? I tried to talk with the nice lady sitting at his desk downstairs about the stuff Gary and I usually discuss, you know, hair care products, wines, spas, and fashions but she wasn't interested.

Is it true the MAs are getting group discount from a hair replacement center?

I have a question. I have an 05 MC and I was wondering if you can put on the MFSW. I now wish I had gotten that when I ordered. Is it expensive to install it? My driving lamps are rusting. Is that covered under warranty? I picked up my MINI in August and when I washed it for the first time, I noticed there was an imperfection in the paint on the front bumper. It is round and indented. Is this covered under warranty? I figured I would just wait until my first service to address these issues because I didn't want to drive to Peabody until I have to. I will be in on March 25th for my first service. Thanks!

So who's doing lunch with Kelly on the 25th? I might be able to swing by.

This is a great idea, well done Bob.... Wish we had this in the UK.


By the way, it was a shame to hear about your accident and I am glad that you are OK.. I do the "wheel bearing test" sometimes when I am driving my car... just for fun!

In your professsional opinion, would having DSC been able to help you out with traction in those kind of circumstances...?

Thanks for your time.
