Took the Mini to Discount Tire to top off the tires. They were between 24-27 PSI and they need to be 33 PSI. Oh, and the spare was at 40 PSI and needs to be 61 PSI.

Was sitting at a stop light when I felt a good sized pop.
Long story short, my expansion tank exploded. EXPLODED. Coolant just drained from the car.
Had it towed to my mechanic.
I had a date set up in January to redo my entire cooling system. I just missed it by 3 weeks and now I have to pay a lot more on part of it.
Oh well. I also planned to have my tranny serviced, so I'll be spending some coin today.

That's bad news, Stephen. Good thing you were already stopped. Imagine if it happened in the middle of a highway, it could be worse.
Big Earner
Yea. It's a good thing I was stopped. If I was driving I might have just ignored it as a bump since the roads in my area are so bad.
I'm just surprised how it EXPLODED!

Wow, that's crazy! Bummer on the timing date wise, but good timing that you were stopped as you said. GL w/repairs.

Sorry it happened, but glad you were in a decent location. How many miles/years on the ET?

Looks original. No service records with the car. That's why I planned on doing the whole cooling system in January. Now it's half n half
