Re: squeakin noise from driverside front
It's more than likely the knuckle joint thats worn. They are cheap to replace , but you need a cone spring compressor to do the job. Make sure that you get the correct one for your Mini as there are two types, one for standard wheels and another for Sportspack cars.

And I said, Officer, I didn't want to be drunk in public...I wanna be drunk in the bar. Now last time I checked it was still legal to be drunk in the bar. They threw me into public...arrest them!
