Hi Guys, Ive been facing an issue I cant get to the bottom of. My car drives great in all conditions apart from WOT where I get a massive single missfire (or what feels like a missfire) above 4000 roughly. I've changed coils (bosch) and plugs are brand new colder plugs due to tune. Its got a new chain and ive checked the timing again today to be sure its good. Also changed all the vacuum lines and boost solenoid as I was chasing a low boost issue aswell. Im a bit lost at this point and not... Weird issue

I recently purchased a 2008 cooper s with low oil pressure hoping a new oil pump would be the fix. I first checked the pressure with a guage, cold 30psi hot 0psi. Took the oil pump apart to find it reasonably good. I then remembered the previous owner had said he got the head overhauled due to oil consumption. He had replaced the valve stem seals,tappets and valves and also replaced the timing chain and rocker cover. A new vanos solenoid was also replaced. He has the head vapour blasted when... R56 Cooper S No oil pressure

my project car, I bought it 2 years ago with 65,000 miles on the clock really nice spec electric sunroof, etc, and the owner drove it until it stopped after a plastic link pipe failure. It got so hot it cracked the head through the number 3 injector. This was the first clue; the head was replaced, and the bottom end, new oil pump and solenoid were replaced. I also found the knock sensor was melted, causing superknock fault codes. I changed the head to a known good one fitted new plus new... 2012 cooper s n18, misfires 3 and 4 cylinder, after overheated and engine rebuilt

Need new wiper blades front and rear, what make can I fit with no bother. Don't really want to pay BWM prices - Halfords or something like that.

Hi all. I've got an '08 R55 cooper S clubman that i've just noticed an odd noise & slight coolant leak after a 15 min easy drive. I'll attach a short vid later showing the fizzing noise & sudden stop of the fizzing. [Electrical?]. It sounds like its coming from between the turbo & header tank. Any ideas appreciated! Oil & coolant look fine, no smoke, drives normally

I'm Chris, here from Virginia with my (technically my wife's) 2009 mini cooper S. Fun little car that's got some work done to it (cams, downpipe/exhaust, tune). Love the car, but been fighting an issue with it. I'm coming here from another forum where nobody seemed to want to give answers other than "go to the dealer" and "buy OEM". I'll post my questions in the appropriate forum rather than here, but hopefully I'll be able to find answers more readily on this site.

Hello, I have a bit of an odd situation occurring in our 2013 Mini Cooper. Very recently the interior and exterior lights have begun to flash, or blink simultaneously for the first few minutes after the engine is running. Things I have noticed: cycling the ignition helps, maybe as many as 3 times. cycling the headlight switch from "auto" to the "on" position stops the flashing altogether, although if I cycle the switch back to "auto" the blinking resumes. no faults, or error messages... Interior/Exterior Lights Flashing
