Hi All,
I am new here so thank you for having me.
We have bought our first mini, my wife has wanted one for along time now and we finally bit the bullet and got our hands on a nice looking little 1.6 copper 2005.
i have noticed on it that it is very sluggish, at first i thought it was just me not used to driving a petrol, but i think now i have a problem and i would like your thoughts please.
if you try to accelerate quickly the car can be very sluggish to respond, it will respond but it is stuttering to get going.
I have given the car an almost full service in the fact that i have given all new fluids, plugs(expensive) and oil, the old oil was very dirty really needed a change for along time i would think.
i know there is a fuel filter under the back seat, do you think this could be a problem, but my parts guy told me you cannot but these filters and that i would need to go to BMW direct for this part, however you should never need to change over the life of the car.
any other suggestions as to what may be my issue or checks i can perform please feel free.
Thanks.
