cooper

Hi all, I'm new here so apologies if this isn't in the right forum! I have a problem with my girlfriend's 2005 R52 Cooper Convertible where the passenger's windows (both front and rear) won't go back up. This has happened after the alternator recently failed and started charging the battery...

Hey everyone, with a heavy heart my wife and I are having to consider the possibility that we need to let our van go. The timing chain went at the back end of last year, and I haven't been able to scrape together the cash to get it sorted. I've looked at the options for refurb engines, but with...

Afternoon all, Hopefully a quick and simple one - but I'm struggling to find the relevant information online and hoping you can help! We're currently enjoying a 2017 Countryman, which we bought Used from a mini dealer - at the time it didn't come with a floor panel for the boot - so we are...

I’ve decided to sell my Mini Cooper with electric sunroof. Is this worth selling for parts/scrap instead of fixing the ABS myself. Has a number of other gremlins due to age. Who would be interested in buying in this condition?

I’m looking to buy an r56 in the next few weeks. The owner of the one I’m looking at sent me these codes: A6CF JBE A559 E72C A734 A8AE (fog light) A8AD (light) ECM 302E - zero gear sensor 2E42 2A53 2D52 2DCA 2DCB 2FDC I was wondering if anyone could translate for me...are these anything...

Hi all, new here so uncertain if i'm posting this in the right place - I bought my 2001 Mini Cooper in 2018, it was at around 115000 miles when bought and there was a slight glitch in the display but nothing too drastic and was still readable. The mileage display since has gotten progressively...

Hi all, I know there have been several threads on this before but it seems we've tried everything and hit a dead end. The roof on my 06 R52 Cooper S won't go down - the switches in the boot are pressed and I know the motor works from testing it but the switch does nothing when pressed, not even...

Selling a used set of OEM rims off a mini cooper S. The rims are 17x7 and have a 4x100 bolt pattern. The rims are in good condition with some light curb rashing. All the wheels spin straight and balance well. Asking $600 o.b.o...

Hello, I have just purchased a '15 F56 1.5T 3 cyl with a manual trasmission. Looking to add more power I came across this 2 options: Burger Motorsports JB4 and Dinan's dinantronics elite. I really don't know which is a better option. Also it's important to have into consideration that in the...

Hi , , My 2016 Mini Cooper is revving whilst in neutral, have turned off air con etc and it still does it,... anyone else had this?

Hi guys, I’ve got an 04 Cooper with a slight issue, if you floor it from cruising the revs will climb as usual until about 3200 rpm hold there for a couple of seconds and then carry on climbing as usual. Any idea why this is happening? Thanks

My daughters mini (2011 R56 cooper) has been reading -40 outside air temperature, we are not sure when it started, it might have been there since she bought it. Anyway she got a replacement and brought it round to me so I could help her. Got the bumber off but where the sensor should be at the...

Hey guys, I have just recently bought a 2006 Mini Cooper Park Lane, on Monday someone has hit me and driven off! In doing so they’ve knocked my passenger side fog light trim off, so I’ve ordered a new one which has come today. To me it just looks like it should push/clip in, but it seems very...

Hi, I brought a 2004 Cooper Convertible last year, it has had a pioneer stereo in it, it’s been working fine, until last week it has been making a horrific cracking noise, and now has no sound at all. I went to Halfords today who told ms to buy a new pioneer stereo, I’ve done that and still...

Open to offers. Would consider a trade for a motor bike. I’m based in NYC. Car is very rarely used. Had it since 2005. Garaged in NJ now as I’m traveling a lot. It Runs. Had a lot of suspension work done a couple years ago. Top strut mounts, bilstein shocks, ball joints etc... feels pretty good...

Hi all, I replaced the engine in my 2007 r56 about 3 months ago - all seemed well until yesterday. The friction wheel that drives the water pump from the belt has failed. When I say failed, I mean it snapped off. This in turn jammed the crankshaft pulley, sheering it from its mount on the...
