Hello.
The other day my 2003 R53 Cooper S decided to over heat.
After some investigate and lots bit being removed it turned out to be the gears on the supercharger had dissolved into thin air.
I have just called MINI and they tell me replacement units are around £1200. Salvage units are £500 on eBay with 3 months warranty.
Ideally i would like to get mine reconditioned as i don't think there is much wrong with the compressor side of the charger.
Cheers
Ash
