It is far worse when your mini makes no noise at all. What so ever.

Pops goes "brooom brooom biddy brooom biddy brooom brooom brooom" and JAM goes " "



Actually Pops has a few clunks from the front when I hit bumps in the road....

the worst noise my mini makes is the *CHING CHING* at the cash register when i have to get it fixed.

mine purrrs like a pussy cat

I can't comment to much..I only drove it up the driveway and then I had to push it up half of that.

Then thier is Morris I listen for everything...Wify..she just turns the vibes up

mine is a rattle that the little bars in the doors that go from the handle to the actual locking mechanism make as the vibrate away!! oh mine is a clubbie, i dont know if roundies have these bars, excuse my ignorance!!!

yea clubby only for them. there is supposed to be foam between them and the door...to stop that. Yea yea...I didn't put any there either when I did JAM's doors.....

I have the same noise too depending on idle rpm Sometimes I get pissed off and whack the door card which usually stops it

The worst noise mine made was either

1 the squeeky grindy noise where the front left knuckle joint had failed and was grinding into the upper suspension arm

or

2 the shuddering groan from when I put discs on and didn't bed them in properly....

3 the noise the new duplex timing chain made as the chain ground slowly but surely into the timing cover (the old duplex setup had fit, didn't think the replacement was much different, I was wrong...

Oh, and all of the clunking noises due to destroyed engine mounts....

But she's all quiet now!

The crunch as my sump guard collects the bumps in the crappy roads we had around Armidale.
That's why it has the sump guard and I guess it is not doing any real damage but it still sounds awful and the though of any part of the mini coping a belting is not nice

I have a rattle at idle caused by the vibration of the fire extinguisher mounting bracket. I either just put my foot against it or rev the car!!

My grunter has the heaven & hell syndrome, the whine from the straight cut gearbox, its annoying, but fantastic at the same time.

Doogie

Speaking of Grunter, have you made any progress on the sale yet??
