I recently bought an R56 Cooper D. A previous owner has fitted a K&N E-2985 Air filter but had removed the lid from the air box. So I bought one from a scrap dealer and fitted it. Got a buzzing noise this morning driving intermittently and after 30 minutes driving a very strong smell of diesel...

I’ve just finished trying to sort out the Black Death on injector 4. Took an awful lot to get the injector out at all and I had to tap it side to side with a chisel to get it moving. Once out I cleaned the well and fitted new copper and rubber seals and a new spacer. Used a reconditioned...

Hi Everyone, I'm about to buy a 2015 SD and confused about the engine code which is B47C20A. What I see everwhere as engine code for SD is the one with D in the middle, B47D20. Probably it is just an upgrade or something but not sure about it so I wanted to be fully sure about it before i...

Good day everyone. We're looking very seriously to buy a Countryman Cooper, second hand but reasonably new - by which I mean probably no older than 2017 (ideally '18 or '19 if affordable), and mileage less than 30k (ideally less than 20k). The additional fuel economy of the diesel model is...

New to the mini world and I love it!! So I wrote off my E46 BMW 330Ci off 2 weeks ago (maybe a blessing in disguise) lol! Bought this , 2015, 18’000 miles for £8k Can’t find many threads on these ones, or maybe I’m just not looking hard enough. Would love to see some others , mods or standard.

Hey guys, I have seen the issue here, but no answers. I have 2011 Mini Cooper D 2.0, N47. It has 158k km right now but this issue has been going on since I bought the car with 148k km. It doesn’t happen all the time, sometimes it happens after fast drive on the highway, sometimes after slow...

Hi folks, I have noticed that my gear knob in my R56 MINI rotates 90 degrees to the left and right when I am changing gears. The gearstick itself is fine but I don't understand why the knob doesn't stay in the 12 o'clock position. Has anyone else experienced this minor (but irritating) fault...

Hi! I'm considering buying a 2009 Mini Cooper D that has 229000km (142000mi) on the clock for about AUD$7500 (USD$5500)... Seems to have been well-maintained by a single owner and had a clutch replacement under warranty. How long do these cars generally go for?? I'd love some insight into...

Hello, I have a problem with a Cooper D 07 with PSA 1.6 diesel engine. In 1st gear there is really low power, in 2nd sometimes it stays flat all the way until 4000rpm but sometimes it pulls stronger around 3000rpm. In third gear there is low boost like in first two gears but at around 3000rpm...

Hi, I have a 2007 cooper D R56 and am wanting to upgrade it a little, both visually and mechanically. I was wondering what is possible to do with the cooper D as oppose to the S/JCW as most mods seem to be around that platform And pretty much any video online is with a JCW so is basically a...

Just a quick introduction to say Hi. I’ve been having a good mooch around the site for a couple of days as I’m looking at buying my first Mini. ?? I’ve always wanted one but never been able to justify it until now. I’m going for a diesel Cooper as the fuel economy seems excellent and I only...

Hello everyone, This is my first post and I am looking for some advice :) I have recently moved from a warm(ish) country (Belgium) to a much cooler one, Finland, with a 2007 R56 Mini Cooper D. The car has 200000km and is running well, the turbo and EGR valve have been replaced due to failure...
