There are lots of auctions on eBay for "TIS" DVDs which is the shop manual. I haven't seen one past 07 though.

I sure would like to have one

I have been looking too and I guess they just ain't gonna make one for the R-56 Mini.
If you ever find one, Let us all know where to get it.

Well the '07 includes the '08 models. My dealer says an update version will be released in the coming months.

You keep PM'ing people, but why not just publish it here one where to get one. I would buy one. I had one for my first car (84 corvette) and got more than my money worth out of it!

I bought a TIS disc and found it to be rubbish. I don't know if it's the wrong one, or what, but it has no techincal data at all, it only references various other publications.

Can you describe what sequence you click on? I have the TIS and I can pull up instructions to disassemble practically any part of the car.

My TIS disc also has full instructions. It takes a little getting used to to find your way around it.

I've bought two of those disks, one on ebay and one
from a member here. Neither would ever work.

I had the IT people at work look at it. No luck.

I'd still be interested in finding one that actually works though.

Both of my TIS disks came with some quite labyrinthine installation instructions, including large notes not to panic until you'd gone though all the steps. Both of them worked (the first didn't have R56s though.)

I should look up the instructions and post them.
