I haven't driven the Mini for 3 weeks. This morning I did an OC and OFC at 79k miles. I have had this car now for 74k miles. Regular service and brakes and tires as needed. replaced spark plugs a while ago. I also replaced the brake fluid, coolant, and ATF earlier this year.
All repairs done when I got the car with 5k miles on it after it had been sitting for 6 years:
replaced thermostat housing ("the squid")
replaced coolant hose
accessory belt
water pump pulley (rubber friction surface slightly cracked)
All other replairs over the last 74k miles:
replaced both license plate bulbs (one had blow)
