Hi I suppose its time I posted this up.
I have my Cooper S nearly 2 years now.
I ordered it new after having an R50 Cooper.

The spec is as follows.

August 2007 MINI Cooper S
British Racing Green
White roof
White mirror caps
White bonnet stripes
MINI Spot lamps
Leather Gravity Tuscan Beige
Chili pack
3 Spoke JCW leather M/F steering wheel
17” R99 MINI wheels
Floor mats
Passenger seat height adj.
Storage compartment pack
Front foglights
Bi Xenon headlights
Manual air conditioning
On board computer
Interior light pack
Radio boost CD with Hifi
Visiblity pack
Panoramic Glass Sunroof
Colour line Cream white
Interior trim Piano Black
Rain sensors and lights on
Parrot Bluetooth Kit
JCW 4 pot front brakes
Stubby antenna
K & N air filter

I first got it on 1st September 2007. When I ordered the car I did not think the Crown Spokes were for me. So I asked about the R99's.
When I collected the car I had the option of 2 R99's and 2 Crown Spokes or wait another week to get second pair of R99's.
Here are a few pictures.

Fix the engine? 2 more toyos. Some carbon fibre maybe.

I got a date of 10th August for it to be in Cahir. Hopefully then that will be the end of that problem.

You will be well looked after by David and the lads in Morrison MINI , customer service is excellent and they take their aftersales role and customer relations as a key to future growth . other Miniclub members have had warranty work done there and are happy to travel to Cahir again should the need arise .

My car is in the garage at the moment and they will be fitting a new timing chain tensioner and if necessary a new timing chain. They have also given it a service. I am driving a BMW 118d 3 door while they do this work.

Hope that this will fix it for you Oliver, for once and for all! :1icon_idea:
