has anybody bought a Paceman factory repair manual from the dealer? if so what was the cost?

 

MINI and BMW do not publish repair manuals. The dealers use electronic manuals on the computer. Owners and independent shops can access them online through a subscription: https://www.minitis.com/

Bentley hasn't published a manual for Countryman/Paceman, but their manual for the R56 covers your N18 engine, and some of the interior and electrical parts are similar.

rkw, thanks for the info. I have a JCW Paceman which I believe is a N14 engine, is that correct?

 

R56 JCW started with N14 and transitioned to N18, but Countryman/Paceman JCW came late and have only used N18. In any case, the Bentley manual covers both N14 and N18.

 

I have used Bently manuals for years on M3, r53 and R 56 and found it very helpful. Between that, realoem.com and you tube, I have done a lot of work and repairs with few problems.

 

Link is fixed above the newest manual goes from 2007 -2013 , has allot of cross over on the N18 and N16 engine that is used in the Paceman .
