New to Mini; 2006 S convertible

Hi all; I’m new to Minis. Bought a high mileage R53. It does have some issues I’m trying to work through,

im a mechanic by trade, just not automotive.

I’ll try to find things on my own, but will prob need a little advise along the way. Appreciate any assistance you can provide.

cheers

To quote an old member: "Pictures, dammit, pictures! Without pictures, it didn't happen."
Regardless, welcome aboard. One small detail, the '06 cabrio is R52 which moves it into the category of topless motoring, motoring at its best.
By your screen name I take it that you're an airplane mechanic. What type, I used to fly a Skylane.
