Hello all! I want an armrest in my car, Adams compact has one and he's said I can have it :D His is a 97 an mines a 2000. Does anyone know if its possible? Do I need to swap the whole centre console? Or can I just take the back section from his where the armrest attaches? Thanks in advance!

Usually if the arm rest is attached to the seat you CAN install them from another donor seat but it is labour intensive. Like the seat, the centre console can also be swapped but again, labour intensive.

Ultimately, If you didn't want to dedicate the time needed to remove super glue from your paint work you will definitely not want to take on this task as the benefits don't balance out with the labour unless your a dedicated spanner head :)

If you DO want to take on the task, I'LL ASSIST but that's simply because I find it hard to say no when something interesting is to be done..

LOL! Your right Daz, I am lazy :D It wasn't that I didn't want to spend the time with the glue. I didn't want to spend the money on an angle grinder and everything else you listed!

I thought the armrest was attached to the centre console just like in mine so you would there for be able to swap them over ??

It is Dave, but his centre console is different to mine so I didn't know if i needed to take the whole console or if i could just take the armrest.

      Mini One 2004 Buying Advice

      Well I ended up buying it. Bodywork needs a good pollish, and I got the front discs and pads changed at the weekend. Got the rears to do overchristmas but at least it stops now and is driveable. Fortunately it is the first cheap car I have bought where every single nut and bolt came off without much effort. Callipers slid off, pistons were nice and free, and I didn't have to take the big hammer to the discs to release them from the rust. I love people who believe in a little copperslip!!! Done a few wee trips in it and the other half has used it on a couple of longer motorway trips so far. Couple of knocks and bangs to be investigated, one of them I am sure is the exhaust. I don't like the look of the way those springs are set up on the front suspension though!!! Looks like if one of them goes then your tyre is getting mangled too!!! Thrust bearing on clutch sounds a little noisy and there appears to be some noise similar to the tappits on a mk3 escort. I'll have a good poke about on google and see what I can dig out, plus get myself the Haynes manual. No noise from timing chain which is good. All in all it's a tidy wee car for not a lot of money

      E87 Whine on acceleration

      Great advice gents, got a similar type of noise, literally started today, definite cyclic in nature so linked to the belt and pulleys and will try the WD40 first to see if I can isolate the cause of it before moving on.

      Headlight condensation

      I can confirm, no more appearance of any condensation in headlights so this is a worthy fix.

      water pump whistle

      Just started up this morning to be greeted with a real whistle which I think is coming from the water pump. Definite link to the belt as the frequency is clearly aligned with the belt and pulley speed. Is this a sign of water pump on way out or something else. I am guessing water pump, is there anything else I should be looking at to find the culprit. Literally, no sound two days ago and got this rotary whistle this morning. How long have I got?
