New member with a 2009 Clubman S

Hey, all!

I bought my first Mini a couple of months ago and am currently rebuilding the engine and turbo. Been lurking here every so often for information and finally decided to join!

Car ran when I bought it, but dead miss on cyl 3&4 and smoked like a freight train! Will be my daily when done and kept stock, ATM!

Clubman the day I brought it home!

The body and interior are in great shape, so mainly mechanical, which is fine by me. Essentially fully loaded, but with no H/K system, which apparently is a good thing?

Has comfort access. Door handles don’t work, but no faults, so hopefully just needs a handle.

If you want to upgrade you stereo, you got the right one with a few options. The HiFi and HK are much more complicated

Just read the first page here:

Gauss66, I appreciate the link as it was very informative. I have the factory NAV, but I’m sure the system will still work, though price is definitely up there. I guess when compared to similar quality aftermarket pieces, by the time it’s all said and done, probably kit that much different.

First I need to get the on the road and do a good shake down before I look at audio, but good to keep in the back of my mind.!
