Chapter 1: Routine maintenance and servicing

First chapter mainly focus on how to maintain and service the car well. To be honest, we have personally seen many non-Mini specialist don’t really know that an automatic transmission require 5.0 litres engine oil because the gearbox aren’t separated from the engine like other newer car. The maintenance details cover engine oil with filter change, cooling system, fuel tank, and other things to keep the car in perfect condition for many years. The book also includes a diagram explaining each of every part in the car as well as their functionality.

It covers all the Mini engines from 1969 to 2001 including the 848 cc, 998 cc, 1098 cc, and 1275 cc. As for Part B, it is higher difficulty, which is the entire overhaul procedure. Most of the early Mini engine require overhaul because they have been many years. Part B is important for an overhauling process.

Now this chapter covers cooling, heating, and ventilation systems from A to Z. It explains all the reasons why sometimes the car gets over heat or work improper.
