I Bought a Factory Flawed Mini Cooper Turbo for $1,000 at Auction! How did Mini Get Away with This?

1. You talk to much booooo

2. please lose the music overlay when speaking to camera

3. 3:25 what fuse are you pulling? The steering column lock? We have an 03 745 that will not start and are troubleshooting.

4. These mini keys are not programmable. You need a new key

5. That is the factory dipstick. That is a Peugeot THP motor.

6. Where’s your step mother?

7. K-swap it. Do a collab with boostedBoiz

8. i just had my motor replace a week ago and now am having the same steering wheel lock light coming on
   Car starts and runs fine but the lights doesn't go away, wonder if i do the same thing that you did in this video, would that turn off the steering wheel lock light off? Remote still opens and closes the door and actives the alarm

9. Where I'm at we only get the wheels for $1000 ..

10. that is OEM dip stick and is almost imposible to read

11. Program the key

12. I wouldn’t spend a penny on that car. Save yourself some time, money, sanity and send it straight back to auction. The Peugeot engines in the R56 are extremely unreliable. I know I owned one and certainly won’t buy another.

13. Did you solve it?

14. You would come out cheaper if you just get a new key🤪 trust me

15. I just spent $429.23 for a new key on my 2007 Bmw 530i😡 I had to get a new key I couldn’t believe it but when I put the new key in it started rite up

16. Probs the coolest mini ever and for 1k thats a steal.

17. a former seller of European cars once told me "never ever buy one that is out of warranty"

18. Sam, thank you once again for making me realise my car problems aren't actually too bad . I must've missed this one when you got it

19. These videos really help me when deciding what second-hand cars to buy…thanks!

20. MMGA? Make Mini Great Again? LOL!

21. Mini was and still is the worst vehicle ever, a dodge is a better buy

22. Nissan Altima’s have a steering column lock issue, too, I see it at AAA and I usually offer a tow, but if you could let me know a way to disengage it, I would be ecstatic, but I have a feeing it’s a mechanical malfunction rather than electrical

23. I would love to hear the motor knocking after all these plug ins for all the company’s paying him to mention them!

24. Lets talk about the frog that got bearly a mention

25. porsche 996/997

26. Call a locksmith. Get a xtool pro or ask that locksmith if they can program a key

27. Cooper stick should be yellow or red handle spring material or stiff cable the test end is usually a cylinder of alloy with a flat end and steps every 1/8 inch

28. 4/20 datecode on the battery.. nice

29. battery said 4/20

30. Funny how you don’t find a Japanese or American car with these issues. Quit buying shorty maintained German cars and buy something reliable that most of us can buy and live with that don’t require twice as much maintenance to keep on the road.

31. I’m almost certain all the S models were completely loaded other than the JCW john Cooper works edition. And either option with the sunroof I had an S with no sunroof and they are all panoramic. My last S was the supercharged version 6 speed super fun.

32. "German Engineering". Cha-Ching

33. Yo Sam you're the man I really enjoy your videos I've learned lots of things from you. Keep up the great work 👍

34. dip stick is factory.

35. Why didn't I see this video last year! I paid $1800 for Mini to replace my CAS module because they couldn't 'repair' it. <sad panda>

36. My first car was a red one just like this. Ridiculously fun to drive with an unmatched ability to weave in and out of traffic. However, it burned up 3 clutches in 5 years, among many other BMW type issues, so it got traded in.

37. Samcracc got so many ads he probably got money from Golden Knights for wearing that shirt too lol

38. Omg, that’s a Peugeot engine from PSA. Horrible oil consuming engine, i had one in my peugeot 308 from 2008. After I found out mini’s had the same engines I never wanted one any more. But I still like the looks of the mini.

39. for stuck bolt's fire works well just heat to cherry red. or get a cheap induction heater.

40. A jeep

41. What is the name of the obd diagnostic app on Phone??

42. You wasted $1000
