I just bought a replacement battery for my Mini Cooper, a group-47 battery that fit perfectly. However, the vent tube wasn't long enough, and it did not come with a vent tube kit. So, I gave the vent tube a little tug and out it came.
How do I replace it? Do I just stick a new tube into the hole...

We said this one was coming, and now here it is. Mini has taken the wraps off the working-class version of its long-wheelbase Clubman. Of course, it’s still a concept, but this car looks quite production ready.
When we first got our long-term Mini Cooper S Coupe, our editors spent one week behind the wheel, familiarizing themselves with the new two-seater. Impressions were generally positive, as we each applauded the handling and power of the car, along with some of its other idiosyncrasies.
Too often our characterizations of the cars we drive are heavily influenced by the way those cars look. My use of “our” here is fairly inclusive, with auto writers, enthusiasts, and run-of-the-mill drivers all included. As reviewers, we obviously try to take a step back from our initial...
Before opening Rogue 24, Cooper served as Chef de Cuisine at Vidalia, an award-winning southern fine dining restaurant in Washington, DC from 2004 to 2010. During his tenure at Vidalia, Cooper went “rogue” and created a 24-course tasting menu, which served as the original inspiration for his...
In terms of engine mods, the JCW features reinforced pistons, a lower compression ratio (10.0:1 versus 10.5:1 in the Cooper S) and more boost (1.3 bar in the JCW, 0.9 bar in the Cooper S) from a larger turbocharger and exhaust manifold. A larger cold-air intake and mass airflow sensor are also...
When we reported our first drive experience with the 2012 Fiat 500 back in February, the response we got to the review was remarkable. Hundreds of you felt moved to write comments directed at our assessment of the car, about the history and future of Fiat in America, and in response to one...
Is Johnny Depp trying to make Keith Richards jealous? The Rolling Stones guitarist plays his dad in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, but Depp's rock 'n' roll credentials...
After two to three years on the market, it isn’t unusual to see a manufacturer change some things about a model, no matter how successful it’s been. Such has been the case for the 2011 Mini Cooper S, which sees a host of changes inside, outside, and under the hood. We spent a week with the...
We’ve just gotten our first official look at the newest member of the growing Mini family. The Mini Cooper Coupe represents a return to basics, with a sporty two-seat layout instead of the two hardly usable seats found in the hardtop.
We love the Mini Cooper S as a budget driver’s car. It’s quick, communicative, eager to rotate, and economical. But the budget goes out the window when we start playing with the manufacturer’s configuration tool. With the oodles of packages and accessories, we managed to make our Cooper S more...
I'm doing some car shopping, and I've narrowed it down to these five cars. I'm buying new, so any of them I get will be the 2011 model. So, which should I pick and why? Seriously, I'm looking for good, reasons as to why I should get one over the other.
Hi, Well I have been confused about which one of these cars is better for me in terms of safety and everything else. Can anyone tell me what would be a better choice and why? Thanks
I am looking for a newer car and want to spend under 12k . i am going to put 1/2 down. It needs to be fun to drive and be reliable to get me from work to college and home. it has to be a 5 speed auto suck imo.
are there any other cars under 12 k that i should look at?
Have you seen those license plate frames on MINI coopers about motoring? does anyone know any funny phrases I could have put on a MINI cooper frame about motoring? or about MINI's in general?
