I just reached the 100,000 mile mark and no major problems. Looking forward to many more miles.

 

I will be there very soon....and on the dreaded Midlands...lmao

 

2003 Cooper with about 115,000 at the moment. Been a great car except for the crappy Midlands tranny. I am already on my third tranny, third clutch (Spec Stage 1 clutch now) and second fly wheel. What are some of the major problems you guys have had with your Coopers?

 

Congrats!!

Nik

 

Ive had a steering angle sensor and a drivers side driveshaft go out (too many wannabe burnouts)...lmao. Good car for 75K miles and an 03. And my original midlands is still kickin @$$.

 

Sweet!

 

Congratulations

 

Awesome. Car looks great too by the way.

 

I'm at 97,000 and on my second midlands...with my fingers crossed, on my third clutch, my 4th clutch master cylinder and my 3rd slave cylinder...oh and my second clutch fork...other than those problems, all else is well except for several expensive tickets keeping me from driving my mini!

 

Dude...what the hell have you been doing?!?! I do daily wannabe burnouts and all I had replaced was ACTUALLY a driveshaft SEAL. Original everything else...I beat it like a $30 business associate...

 

I'm at 130,000 (and change). On my second clutch, still on stock transmission.
Pretty good for a fully modded non S.

Take care, and keep motorin'.
Leo.

 

i wonder how many in the 100k club that haven't posted have a CVT? i'm at 37k and just purchased an extended warranty to cover it. but, hoping it holds on for the life of the MINI.

 

...have you ever tried to throttle steer using the clutch at WOT?

 

I hit 100K a few weeks ago. I'm at 104K now and the only thing I have done is replaced a right front wheel bearing. Stock tranny, clutch, and still have half the pads left on the original brake pads.

 

Less than 1000 miles to go.....

 

I am almost at the halfway mark! lol

So far my only problems I have had have been with the window sensors and the A/C, both fixed under warranty of course

 

First one to 999999 wins

 

How is that possible?! I had to replace my factory pads at at leastg 40k

Good job!

 

Downshifting and highway miles

 

Lots and lots of highway miles. I have about a 100 mile round trip to work and I travel with work quite a bit. I put 45-50K miles per year on my car. I should have 300K when I get it paid off!

 

great!!!!!!
My 2005 just turned 118,000 and no major problems.
Keep driving it like you stold it.

 

 

I have a Feb 2003 build with almost 136,000 miles! I have had my shares of ups and down, but I still love my baby!

 

Dang. That's a lot of miles, folks! I just sold my 2001 Golf to buy my MINI and it had <48k.

 

WOW GO VdUB!
