  • MINI ONE 6 May 2002 (Forum)
    Every time I start my BMW MINI up and move off,after aprox' 3 seconds a dull clumping noise comes from the engine bay area.it would appear in my humble opinion to sound something like an electrical solenoid energising. this occurs every single starting sequence.I am not particulary concerned but am very curious as to what the cause is-any MINI owners noticed the same noise and does any one have any ideas as to what the cause is?.

  • Minis 27 Jan 2004 (Forum)
    I was considering buying a new MINI but am having second thoughts on reading all the \"duffers\" entries about them on the Top Gear website; there are even more complaints than with Freelanders! Are there serious problems with these vehicles and do any backroomers have any good/bad experiences?
  • MINI Cooper and Cooper S - Mini for SWMBO, yes or no? 9 Jul 2017 (Forum)
    Hi The wife quite fancies a Mini as her daily runabout. It would in a way be nice to come full circle after her 1976 shinola brown 850 original Mini that she had when we first met (used to hearing the water sloshing down from the back of the car to the front footwell when we went downhill in the rain!)

  • Crashworthiness of BMC Mini - Video link. 3 Sep 2009 (Forum)
    I imagine many backroomers will have experience of the original mini and possibly some horror stories too....
  • MINI - Automatics - CVT or Tiptronic? 25 Jun 2009 (Forum)
    Also, does anyone have any experience of driving automatic Minis (talking about the BMW jobs here, not the old proper Minis)? I like Tiptronic autos, not so sure about CVTs never having driven one. Cheers!
  • innocenti mini - anyone own / drive one ? 10 Dec 2009 (Forum)
    Being a bit nostalgic here, but did anyone own / drive an Innocenti mini ? Were they any good ? I suspect I like the car as my first car was a Fiat 127 (similar in size and shape).
  • Fuel for standard mini 5 Jul 2001 (Forum)
    My wife has a standard "E" reg 1000cc mini, we used to use 4 star and since its demise have used LRP, but I have been told that I should be able to use ordinary unleaded petrol. Is this correct?
  • mini one clubman'59 plate - mini one clubman '59 will not start at all 3 Sep 2015 (Forum)
    I left my '59 plate mini one clubman for 2 weeks this summer.  It was due a service and wasn't running entirely smoothly before I left - last year mini had to replace the ?fuel injection as it was malfunctioning - it was running smoothly again for the whole year, but in the week or so before I went away it had started to have a problem with smooth running in 2nd gear (a bit like before).
  • MINI Cooper S - 2014 Mini Cooper SD 17 Nov 2014 (Forum)
    I've told the missus when we collect it this week I'm going to get her to be my Camera Woman and film me reviewing it, I will be totally honest and due to the lack of SD related coverage I'm guessing I could potentially become famous from this video!! Any feedback and comments useful and related to the SD will be welcomed. According to Mini Official website the car has 190bhp and 390 torque, but the odd website says it's more like 168bhp and 340 torque!? Does anybody (including blooming Mini) know what this car is/does.... All the best guys, Lee.
  • MINI R50 Cooper - MINI R50 Squeal - not from V-belt! 13 Jul 2018 (Forum)
    My 2001 Mini (that I've owned since the launch date) has  65000 miles and is well loved. The car has developed a loud squeal from the engine area at 1000 rpm.   I thought it may the V-belt so ordered a new one and replaced it.
  • 2005 mini one 1.6 - Bmw Mini One Pulling To The Left And Scoring ? 29 Jun 2016 (Forum)
    Week ago it was just hardly noticable but today its getting worse, basically, when you go over 5-10mph you can hear a scoring friction sound and also is pulling to the left if you let go of the steering wheel. Its a 2005 mini one 1.6, i had the tracking done by the local garage thinking it will cure the pulling etc but no avail. Also makes no difference if i brake or put the clutch in or out, its starting to be a worry and before i go to the garage for them to say, could be this or that etc i was wondering if anyone else had/got same proble?
  • MINI Cooper S R53 (2002 - 2007) - Replacing my VR6 with Mini Cooper S 6 Mar 2009 (Forum)
    I am looking for a new car to replace my ageing Golf VR6. I want somthing fun, with a boot, and well built. So I thought about a Mini Cooper S. I?ve seen one for sale 2005 (05) with 75k on the clock for £7299 + £91 admin at CarGiant. Does the price sound about right, and what do people think of the car? My main concern is the depreciation of it over the next few years, and that I may look like a hairdresser in it.
