Welcome to NAM. We also had a 2005 Justa that began to give us problems. Our daughter and father-in-law were driving her and did not maintain her. To make a long story short we traded her in for another car for the daughter and father-in-law.
Welcome. Post up some pics of that MINI in Italy!

Hi! Problem is a gone-bearing noise when car is under power, already did all the pres depress clutch etc and I`m pretty positive it`s in the box, primary side, behind clutch... Still, I`ll have it looked at in the shop... You know, maybe I`m lucky and its someting clutch related (hahah, I wish!)
I`ll post picture of the mini in italy (well, pretty italian landscape with the mini in a corner of the pic) soon :-)
What I am now evaluating is if to quick fix the thing with another el-cheapo Midland gearbox, fit the S Getrag in it or go full crazy and stick a nice 100kw Siemens AC drive in it.

Ciao Pellicano! I`m the one who (twice) thanked you on your Fb page after fixing the car in the middle on nowhere following your guides...
I took a deep breath and concluded that the full-EV conversion on my daily driver would be just too much, so I am now getting a 6 speed GEtrag box from UK and going that way for the conversion. Wish me luck!!!
