JCW GarageInterested in John Cooper Works (JCW) parts for your 1st Generation MINI? This is where JCW upgrades and accessories for the Cooper (R50), Cabrio (R52), and Cooper S (R53) MINIs are discussed.
FYI if you check the forum headings there are different sections for first gen, second gen, and third gen Minis... you posted in first gen which is 2002-2006.
There's some good info around here on maintenance for first gen, but I don't know enough about the newer ones to say.
