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".

      Help with 2014 X3 RDC and TPMS

      I would look at systems like i-Carsoft V3 Foxwell 510, but the best and most comprehensive is ISTA. I have seen all of these on the Bay and Amazon for between £100 and £150 Do a google search for BMW Diagnostic software, Good Luck Dave

      4x4 abs ebv dsc failure

      If the splice has been repaired properly, there are K-can High (Orange/Green trace) and K-can Low (Green) both need doing then it should clear , I know I have done a few. Then you have the Chassis Can (ICM) which has its own can High and can Low, the DSC has PT-can links High and Low Then common sense dictates you have an issue with other K-can splices there are several in the Main Loom floor level and under the dash I would either check myself or find a another Garage bearing in mind this is the garage that has taken £1000 of your money every time telling you "this will fix it". If you can't be bothered yourself get an Auto Electrician as all your doing is throwing money at it/them. It really isn't that complicated Sorry if that sounds harsh but it's your car and money just go back to your very first post and see the answer/advice given Dave

      Hi Greydog, Thanks for the detailed information. This is very helpful! 😀 Since I am new to this, do you recommend any model around $100 that I could complete with the diagnostic? Many thanks!

      4x4 abs ebv dsc failure

      Hi Dave manged to spk to someone from the garage today and apparently they've done the dealer splice in the back but the problem is still there less kcan line faults from before but still kcan line faults present I did replace the battery before I took it to the garage and I got someone to register the battery as I was told i needed to do that but after I replaced the battery it was like somethink was draining it and occasionally struggled to start as it had low voltage so we checked the altonator voltage and that was fine

      Service history

      Hi Cliff I believe you are spot on if there is no dealer code it wasn't a BMW Dealer so you have no proof other than an entry on the infotainment that it was done unless there a receipts with the paperwork As for brakes the problem comes from use eg. A high mile motorway warrior will cover huge distances between brake use/application so needing a change where as a School run car may use its brakes much faster, for me physical inspection is the only way Dave
