• MINI Cooper + Cooper S - coolant level dropping quickly 19 Dec 2010 (Forum)
  I have a mini cooper 06 which has done about 27K miles.  Last month the coolant started leaking and recently BMW found the thermostat + thermostat housing was at fault. This was replaced by BMW and the coolant level on the day was topped up to max.
• MINI Cooper S R53 (2002 - 2007) - 02 1.6 - not starting after stored for a month 7 May 2008 (Forum)
  Hi, I am after some advise after storing my brother's Mini Cooper S in my garage. I moved it into the garage a month or so ago and it started no problem but I went to move this weekend and it wouldn't start. All the dash lights came on and it made a clicking sound when I turned the key but the car did not start.

  Help! We have a MINI on loan while my BMW is in for some work. Tomorrow Mrs P needs to use it with two child seats on board. So I only have tonight to work out the best way to fit them in. There is, of course, no instruction manual in the car!
• 1996 Rover Mini stalling when cold 23 May 2006 (Forum)
  I'd appreciate some help with a problem I'm having with an automatic, 1.3 1996 Mini Mayfair. The car starts first time and pulls away OK, however when slowing down when the car is cold it sometimes splutters and then stalls. The car can be restarted OK, however it sometimes stalls a couple of times when pulling away.
• MINI - owner experiences 8 Jan 2004 (Forum)
  It seems the new craze is to nick MINI badges (and tyre valve caps). My friend has had three nicked from the tailgate lid. Three replacements from three separate BMW garages have cost £8, £12 and £15. Some questions : (a) Why the different prices for the same item ?
• Damn Stupid Mini Ads 13 Dec 2001 (Forum)
  Anyone seen that infuriating Mini commercial about the Curse of the Mummy that makes your whole screen go black? Keeps getting me when I'm accessing the Telegraph. Now that really is a stupid piece of media tech-tripping. Nearly gives me a fit thinking something deadly has struck, nit to mention the lack of courtesy in interrupting me.

• Mercedes-Benz GLA - Mini Countryman, Volvo XC40 or Mercedes GLA 22 Aug 2019 (Forum)
  The scheme is for three years from new. They're all comparable price and comparable mpg (maybe the mini would be a bit better considering ltos of short journeys) and comparable size and shape. Perhaps the merc is the snazziest looking in white. The mini is also quite stylish. Maybe the volvo would be best for the motorway miles.

• Mini Hatch One '57 1.4 Petrol - Replacement Mini Engine Query 16 Dec 2014 (Forum)
  Hi,  It may ring a bell to some of you that I posted on here my Mini was having some really significant engine problems - I was asking for your advice.  I have since returned the car to the garage, and they have diagnosed the engine as having low engine oil pressure, and rather than pay to keep replacing parts/having me return to keep getting the engine looked at, they have agreed to source a whole replacement engine.
• Mini one 1.4 auto - Engine oil 26 Mar 2013 (Forum)
  However I do understand the importance of maintaining them correctly - both cars are serviced when required and the oil level/tyre pressures etc are checked at least every 2 weeks. I was wondering if it is normal for a low mileage Mini to use such a lot of oil. The Ford Ka my wife drove for 4 years prior to getting the Mini never used any oil between services. Thank you in advance for any help!
• 1986 Mini - go with my head or heart? 11 Dec 2006 (Forum)
  Thinking of buying a 1986 Austin Mini Piccadily. Car is to be used daily for a 10 mile commute to and from home to work by me (although boyfriend would technically own the car). Has 65k and six months MOT remaining - last MOT only cost the £45 odd plus a new bulb so I'm guessing it's in pretty good nick.
• Mini JCW v Audi TT S Line - What car to go for 3 Oct 2022 (Forum)
      My current car (Vauxhall VX220) has recently been unfortunately wrote off and I have narrowed my car shortlist down to either a Mini JCW hatch or Audi TT S Line 2.0 petrol both around a 16 plate.  Could I get anyone's thoughts on which is the better car? And any insight in regards to reliability and other things in general.

• Mini 2014 Autumn - Parkers Valuations 17 Aug 2017 (Forum)
  With all the many extras added to give me a more refined and precise valuation Parkers puts my car at £13,167; I have been offered £10,800 by Audi as Part x and £10,300 by Mini ditto. A single dealer has contacted me through Tootle and offered £9,875 and your site tells me it's value is £9,739 although this was not based on a tailored estimate. Any advice, as always would be really appreciated.
