Steering wheel doesn’t lock. Starts ok but doesn’t release the key. Shift in the column so switch must be up under rubber cover I think

Hi! Working on a mechanical pump like yours.. How do i know where the inlet and outlet are without taking it apart? //Fredde

My 2012 Expedition just did the saem thing yesterday...133,000 miles. Had to leave the key in.....Now, does the shifter body have any cables to the trans or is it all electronic?

Brilliant thank you

Do you know the part number for that blower?

That screw is covered with protection paste (Protection to unscrew) all what needs to unscrew that 3 screw is brake the paste which means screw right and left few times to crush paste and job done. Just do this gently try nor spinning back nut. I'm just removed lamp to change boonet lock with microswitch and that way working 100%. Like with any other bolts cowered blue paste.

Appreciate this

Did you also notice when you shifted it into park, the indicator in the instrument cluster didn't light up orange like its supposed to when in Park?

Did you have any problems after the replacement? Like I now have Battery Monitoring System module fault and a Body Control Module fault codes.

One of the worst headlights assembly design. Those headlights are a royal pain to remove. Mini should have done their homework regarding its headlights assembly. It should be easy to remove it but it’s not at all….

12 years later, and here I am, repairing my old Ford Transit 1992, thanks to your vídeo 😀💪 Thank you so much 🤝

Awesome! Thanks. Did you have to replace the whole shifter mechanism? Cost? I wonder if a 3D printed part could fix it???? Thanks again.

Great vid, and thanks for No annoying back ground music, Cheers

What was the point of this video? You didn’t even show anyone how to take it off.

So how do you take it off? Is it just force?

a very good solution :) indeed

i experienced the same situation - it was horrible and take all the afternoon to change my headlights

0:43 i need that whole assembly screw and nut... where to buy ?

🤮

Perfect. Thank you

Thanks

Any tips on removal?

2 years later and video still relevant. I came across the same issue with my headlight bolts. Too late with the drivers side headlight. I had to Drexel out one of the bolts to get it off. Noticed that BMW mini added red thread lock to the screws. So on the near side headlight used a single flame torch lighter and heated each of the rear captive nuts, a little tricky with the bolt under the headlight but can be accessed via the small fog light panel. Screws came out easily! Hopefully will help someone in the future.

Thanks, I just removed the broken arm, and the switch snapped back into place. Not sure what that little arm does but I’m sure I’ll find out.

Hi Larry! Thanks for this post. I had to replace the headlight assemblies on my 2014 Mini F56 this week and thought that maybe the bolts on my Mini would come off more easily than yours. You were right! For the driver-side headlight, one bolt was stuck to the nut (the one located at the bottom _near the ground). I ended up having a mechanic cut it! So for now, I only have 3 bolts supporting the driver-side headlight assembly (I'll try to look for a replacement later). Anyway, my next predicament is how to replace the passenger-side headlight assembly. A local Mini auto specialist wants to charge me $250 labor to replace it! I thought there's got to be a better way to take out those bolts. Being that the car is 8 years old, I noticed that the bolts were a little bit rusted. And that maybe why the nut was getting stuck to the bolt. And so I bought a WD-40 with a bendable metal extension. For the next 3 days after I got off work, I sprayed the bolts. This morning (Saturday), I looked at the bolts and they look like new and the rusts were gone! With an extender attached to my ratcheting wrench, the bolts came off easily! In short, I was able to replace the passenger side headlight assembly in about 10-12 minutes, saving myself $250! Still, I agree with you that BMW could have done a better job with those mounting bolt assemblies. Anyway, if other Mini F56 owners out there want to change their headlight assemblies, try the method I used with the WD-40 and see if it works for you. Peace!

Thank you, I need to replace my 400 looking for one that be rebuilt when needed.

You said it happened "last week" did your dash lights [and whatever else] stay on and kill the battery overnight? Is there a workaround so I don't end up having to replace a battery too from letting it die every night while I wait for the part?

Almost 10 years after you put the time in to explain the workings of the mechanical fuel pump. Much appreciated.

so, how did you make it???

What is the name of the part needed?

The stripes on his back look like he might be a striped bark, but where the tail ends it has black.... so I’m not quite sure

Thanks Lorenzo, helped to pinpoint the trouble of the broken actuator arm, but I didn't replace the shifter, just pulled the micro switch from the holder and taped the micro switch down (closed) and everything works fine.

Do you have the part number for that shifter assembly? I have a 2014 Lincoln Navigator but the shifter looks the same.

Thanks

I had exactly the same. I changed it in less than 1 h and works now perfectly! Thanks for your video.

That captured nut made me nuts ! Horrible experience

Great video. Had the same exact issue.

Thx 💁

at last i see a sensible video about mechanical fuel pump on youtube...indeed old is gold in every field

Great video sir. Thank you. I'm trying my second new pump on my 1960 Ford F-100 223 ci. First one didn't pump at all and it was a brand new vacuum style for vacuum wipers from LMC. Its almost like the lobe on the cam wasn't actuating the pump arm all the way. I thought maybe the lobe on the cam was wore down but that is highly unlikely. I am trying another pump and ordered this one from NAPA this time and it is a non-vacuum type for electric wipers. Praying this one works. I've had the worst luck trying to get fuel delivery to this motor. I tried 2 different inline electric fuel pumps and they either supplied too much or not enough fuel. All new fuel lines, new tank, new carb, etc. Could you please tell me what brand/type/model fuel pump you ended up getting to replace the old one with? Thank you. Matt.

Mine has failed on my car, but it held up pretty good up til recently, I think the last ditch effort pulled throug just enough to get the van home, and this is where it sits now. Engine is not demanding, being only a 1,449 ccm on the old Renault/Chevrolet Trafic 1985. It gets it moving, while still being nice on the wallet.

Could a pump like that cause some kind of a vacuum leak at the seal?

Thank you very much!

1:22 "run forest, run!

that like using bike hand pump to creat pressure,imazing that it only create 4to 10 psi to suck gas from tank,

amazing video

A simple answer for a question that I wanted the answer too. Thank you kind sir

Question? Please not get mad at me, Is it possible to run different fuel through the fuel pump besides gas like water it is a question I am trying to figure out about vapor or hho system or maybe Vapor if i can use the manual fuel pump still I have a 1985 F250 inline 6 (300) 4.9 I am trying to figure out away to make the fuel stretch longer I have on this truck is a single barrel carburetor and I am also trying to see on getting rid of the vacuum on it and make that system as simple as possible can someone have a clear diagram or picture i can see and maybe a parts list that can use... Sorry if i sound as if i do not make since or it sounds i am making riddles I am not trying to it is just how my mind works most of the time.

perfect! I have a 1967 f100 and it doesn't want to start unless I put fuel into carb. My next step is to replace the fuel pump because it's so cheap. I believe mine has a filter as well on it. thx for the video!

I purchased a vehicle with an 88 Camaro engine. On my mechanical fuel pump there is a place for fuel to come in and out but there is also another nipple that has been blocked off with a hose and clamp. Should this be going somewhere. I'm getting 10psi to my holley carb and it's flooding. I've never added a comment to a video so I'm not sure if you'll see it but if so, can you respond to my e mail at michaelrbarker04@gmail.com
