Just thought id let ppl know, People who own MINI ones and fancy any John Cooper Works performance parts, please note that JCW will not fit the parts. Also if they are fitted by your Dealer or by yourself they will invalidate your warranty, period!!

Surely dealer fit is fine - is that why you wanted MINI UK's number? I know dealers can fit the stuff to coopers

Dom

Reason is that the kit has not been tested on a one, so if somethin goes wrong it time to get a loan and fix it urself!!! No TA!! Im gonna get the new sports exhaust thats commin out easier option.

So the superchip that you were going to get wasn't going to invalidate the warranty then

Ho hum!! Ill ignore that last comment!!! U can see a exhaust!!! lol

Dom · Jul 31st, 2002, 10:30 AM

What about modifying the jets, does that invalidate warranty?

Dom

Dshelton · Jul 31st, 2002, 10:36 AM

Dom...shut up!! NOW! Im tryin to help ppl here!! And yes ive had to reconsider things myself, but i wont be put off yet!

Dom · Jul 31st, 2002, 10:40 AM

Was just trying to find out what invalidates warranty, that's all

Dom

Dshelton · Jul 31st, 2002, 10:45 AM

Any engine mod that is not OK'ed by BMW. And anythin that may affect the car ie: 19' wheels which could mess the arches and the steerin rack up etc

I thought that once the JCW kit gets approval from BMW fitting it won't invalidate the warranty

G8BAD_COOPER · Jul 31st, 2002, 11:19 AM

Dan, make you should start your own company modding MINI ONE's

I emailed JCW ages ago & they said tthe parts will fit no problem but they wouldnt suggest I fit any JCW parts

WhatS the problem

ITS THE SAME BLOODY CAR

more or less

Dom · Jul 31st, 2002, 02:26 PM

It's BMW - they haven't tested it. To be fair, it is a different ECU and so you can't expect them to honour it without testing. Besides, it's John COOPER Works, not John ONE Works
