Hmmm, now if it was a leprechaun or a ghost in the engine bay I might be able to help, but sorry, I don't do aliens.
Good luck.

Howdy all, I have another problem with the ol' mini. I dunno if this is a common problem for the mini, but whenever I make a mild left turn there is a strange noise, which sounds like an alien from outta space, coming from the rear of the car. Has anybody else had this problem before? |

have you checked your rear left and right wheel bearings? if it's a whurring or high pitched vibration it's a good place to start. jach the caar up at the rear and check for free play sideways with the rear wheels on. no noise or movment is good |

minis also have gremlins, but they can be atrributed to the prince of darkness. He only has power over electrical issues though. |

Hehe, thanks for the advice about the bearings. I checked the back wheels and there seems to be a bit too much play, so I will see how to change them over in the manual and hopefully no more invasions. But the aliens were good for scaring mates when I took them for a drive. |

if it matters too you the taper bearings are better than the roller type they last a bit longer. considering it's not the most "clean" fun you can have with your mini it might be worth not having to do again for a while |

Thanks for the tips. With the thread, I found that out a couple of weeks ago when I put just about all my effort into undoing it. |
