Hi all,
I have got a 2009 59 reg Mini One 1.4 Petrol,The car has always been serviced every year at mini and the oil has always been topped up as nessescary.However now it is 7 years old it has developed a problem where in say 3rd gear at 40 mph then someone else slows down infront of you to turn then you slow to say 25mph when you go to accelerate the car jerks badly and hardly moves which means you have to shift down and be at about 3500 revs in 2nd to 'get it going'.Everytime it starts well and from a start in 2nd 1st 5th and 6th it is amazing but in 3rd and 4th there is something there.....Oh and the Idle is as smooth as butter and the problem is slightly aggravated when the engine is at temperature ....Thanks for being the friendliest forum and I understand many do not have a 1.4 but if you have any suggestions even on a 1.6 thatmay help!!! Thanks again ;)
