@@Chardonbois on this occasion I think it was around £100 but that’s only because I changed the spark plugs which in fairness probably didn’t need changing. The main fault was the one coil.

You knock the VW Scirocco but praise your mini which hasn't even got a decent engine but a Peugeot engine so at least the Scirocco has a great German engine in it and more solidly built

Brilliant guide. Did mine today although quicker than you did it. 😂 I would add that the screws holding the speedo don’t need to be removed completely, just unscrew and they stay in situ somewhat which makes screwing the back in later very easy.

Hello, the footages are great , i am planning to buy however i am kinnda suspicious if it scratches the paint of car or give harm.Did you face anything like that,scratches or dents on your mini?i will use my iphone .By the way i have mini too,amazin cars:)
@midlifemini
@midlifemini 5 месяцев назад
Hi There. I have had no issues with scratching of paint. I'd say the key is to make sure your car is clean before using. That would also assist the suction. If you are planning to do a fair distance I'd probably say go with the larger mount. This one.. amzn.to/3uqPAlv Also, I would imagine the iPhone footage would come out wobbly as heck as the stabilisation in iPhones aren't really up to this type filming. Could be wrong but don't expect epic results from it. Great to hear you're a fellow Mini driver. Love mine. What have you got? I'm considering a few cheeky upgrades this year once the weather improves. If they happen there might just be future videos covering it 🙂

By the way i have Mini Countryman Signature 2023 however now i saw the 2024 NEW design of Electric Minis 2 days ago but i am not sure if i am gonna like it or not ,I think they look like so futuristic.What do you think about that?By the way your car look amazing too @@midlifemini

@alikanyilmaz nice! I’m unsure about the latest ones but I’d love to have a drive in the electric ones tbh. Thank you. Even though it’s a 2010 it certainly does feel that old. It’s had a fairly easy life tbh as it’s only just turned 71k miles. Needs a clean mind. Job for tomorrow I think 🤔 🤣

Really happy you liked it. The OA4 is an incredibly good camera. This was all 4k 25fps. All other settings on auto. RS on dewarp as I’m not a fan of the whole fish eye look. I used to use the Sony ZV1 but atm this is my go to camera. My ambition is to team it up with the pocket 3 but that’s another day 🤣
