Thought it might be useful for a poll on this just to gauge how many R56 owners (and who are forum Users to be able to vote) have experienced this issue. My favourite description of the noise so far is here, should you be unclear of what exactly it is being referred to!

Had our R56 since mid-Jan 07 and never once has it sounded knackered or anything other than a modern petrol engine. Used for fairly short jouneys and done almost 9k miles since Jan 07.

Six months old and 12000 miles - no problems whatsoever

Given that this problem seems to be limited to the MCS, perhaps the poll should be modified to include the option for whether or not the member owns a Cooper S or just a regular Cooper.

We already have at least one response that appears to be from a member with a regular Cooper.

Yes, clarification is required in the title.

Never heard of a R56 Cooper owner complaining of this.

Was just about to ask this question too...

Title and poll choices edited to reflect this is for R56 MCS owners.

I deliberately omitted referring specifically to the S as I am not convinced that the cause is something only present on the S petrol engine. Are there really no Cooper or ONE owners out there who have experienced this noise?

If you want responses from ONE & Cooper owners, I think the poll needs modified so people can post yes/no along with the car they have.

If all Cooper/ONE owners post no, it might make things not look as bad for the MCS.
