New Guy In SC

Good afternoon, new member here in SC!

Daily driver is a Benz clk320 vert. Always been a huge fan of MINIs (esp. Classics) and just bought an 09' Clubman S. Runs but needs a fuel pump and a heck of cleaning. - more than likely the hpfp... I'm super excited for Clubman which will become the new daily (with some mods) Looking to interact with the members here and learn more about Minis in general. Cheers!

Welcome to NAM.

With that year model, be sure to change oil every 6,000 miles. If it does not have an oil catch can, you might think about that as well.

Definitely! I could get away with a waiting little bit longer on my benz due to it using 8 qts.. A bit more than the Mini holds

Thanks for the welcome!

With the N14 engine it could be more of a life and death issue. Know a guy with over 220k on the his N14 but there are a whole lot more out there that curse the day they saw the N14.

Hi and welcome to NAM!r
Change all the fluids, check the brake pads, make sure to use the correct brake fluid that Mini calls for.
Check for any loose steering components and go out an show the world why Mini's rock!
