New R56 Cat!

Picked up a 2010 Justa R56 over the weekend as my winter project.

Already thankful for the BOATLOAD of knowledge that is the forums and hope to diagnose and fix up the mini as my new DD.

N12, pristine exterior and interior. However, currently P302 and idling extremely rough. Hopefully compression test will tell me if she will require a rebuild since I've done most of the trouble shooting.

Thanks for having such a wonderful community!

Hi and welcome to NAM, FamousFlea!
It may be that the intake is clogged to a cylinder or two. Look up walnut blasting on intake.
Burned valve is also possible.
Congrats on your new Mini Justa and hope you get it going right soon!

Thanks! Will definitely take a look with the cam this weekend.

Of all the vehicles I've driven thus far, NONE have come close to the 6-speed MT and the mini handling.

Had a stupid smile plastered to my face the entire drive back.
