How To Get It Up!!

Hi,I've had my 2003 Mini One since May,made up with it.had it serviced when I bought it,and of course the garage had it up on a four poster ramp to do the engine oil/filter change + MOT.

Now my little problem is How do I get it up onto axle stands (I'm only able to work on my cars outside the house in the street)

If I jack up by the jacking point how do I get the axle stand onto that jacking point??

Is it OK to jack the car up at some other strong positions so I can just slide the axle stands under J/points??

I've been on YouTube and found nothing and "HAYNES" is worthless.

Surely you guys out there have some good tips.

I want to get it up to change the tranny fluid...(I don't believe there's such a thing as "LIFETIME TRANNY FLUID".

      Centre console iPhone charger

      Morning to you all, I have a 2014 X3 35d M sport, absolutely love it. However, I’d love to have a wireless charger (ideally MagSafe as I have an iPhone) in the centre cubby between the two seats. Of course I know I could use a lead (and indeed do currently), but in the interests of being extremely lazy I’d love to just be able to plonk it onto a fix in place wireless MagSafe pad. I've seen a few aliexpress specials to retro fit something by the cup holders, but that’s not what I’m after. What I’m after is as above, but I can’t find anything anywhere. Has anyone here done or seen something along those lines? Cheers Rob

      Failed turbo

      Morning William Welcome to the Forum That number sounds like a BMW Dealer quote ? Who diagnosed the fault ? What engine ? Remember BMW don't make Turbo Chargers they buy them in. If you haven't already talk to a Turbo specialist, well more than one so you get a good comparison on cost/warranty etc. Engine damage will occur if the turbine on the inlet disintegrates sending debris into the engine iif your lucky it will be the exhaust turbine thats gone Dave
