Hello, new guy, just bought a 02 base model, 184000 miles. Got a few issues to work through and hopefully be able to find some information and get it running in top shape.

​​​

 

Welcome to the forum, tons of info here, just got to find the right rabbit hole. Post up some pics when you get a chance.

 

From your name, it appears you came to MINI via an F350. If so, that's quite a difference! Welcome.

 

Welcome, and here's a thought on how to best mine this Forum.

I use Google, and simply preface whatever search terms I am interested in with the expression site:northamericanmotoring.com - it seems to help me more than the Site search function.

For example - site:northamericanmotoring.com high mileage R50, which I tried HERE.

Cheers,

Charlie

 

Thanks for the welcome and info. Cooper48 yes I have a F350 also. But I picked up the MINI off a friend to be a daily driver and work car. So far it's been a blast to drive and shockingly for a 6'5" guy plenty of room. Definitely looking forward to doing some mods and catch back up on some maintenance that needs done.

 

Welcome, hope we can help you keep it up.

 

This forum is awesome for help and information. A member has a YouTube channel called Mod MINI.

I would have never been able to replace the clutch in my 2002 R50 without his videos.
