Well, my 1st service is due shortly. 8,500 miles since the begining of December '03. Yeah, ok, so I can't stop driving it

Been wondering what other people have done in my situation. I have a K&N Typhoon filter fitted, do I remove it and put the OE airbox and filter back on or do I leave the K&N on when it goes in for service ? Will the servicing garage (where I bought the Mini) get funny about engine 'mods' ? Any one else have any experience of this ? Any feed back / comments would be welcome.
Whilst I'm at the dealers going to see the salesman and get a quote for the next one, another Cooper probably go for September delivery.

(I'm contemplating fitting a K&N induction kit, and have been asking myself exactly the same questions!)

If you've been running the car a while with your K&N setup (and you put the OE filter & box back on for the service) then I'd imagine that the delership will suspect something amiss .... your OE filter won't be "dirty" enough for the miles you're supposed to have done with it !
