That sucks! Sorry to hear that. I'm just at 5K. Time for an oil change.

235K miles.


I plan to drive it 3 more years at 20K+ miles per year, so I should hit 300K by the time I replace it.
Pulled over on my way to work yesterday and took this picture:




I changed jobs a couple of years ago which reduced my commute by quite a lot. So I didn't hit a quarter-mill as soon as I thought.

120,853 on my wife's 2007 R56 auto. It's on its third water pump and plugs and coils were changed a couple months ago. I've done the transmission drain/fill/drain/fill thing a couple times with Citgo Transmax Import Fluid.

The oil is changed several times a year, currently using Mobile One 0W-40 for Euro cars. We do have to keep an eye on the oil level and add some periodically.

Brake pads have been changed a couple times, new rotors all around this year. Brake fluid and coolant has also been flushed per schedule.

This just happened as I was approaching the house. I almost don't want to go anywhere ever again!

My 2003 S, 141,904, still runs like a scalded cat.
Just stopped by to see what's going, apparently some new vendors came on board

My mileage is ticking up ever so slowly now. Mainly just use the car around town and rallycrossing.



Finally did the clutch - I think it would have been just fine for normal driving, though. Sad to hear XSMINI that you changed yours - wish we could know just how long it would have lasted!

Got a little write up on my car from Rennline on their blog site - http://rennblog.com/a-modern-mini-cooper-born-to-rally/ if interested!

Wow, that is awesome! 205k miles on the clutch. Very nice. We are around 110-111k on our '05 and its holding. The clutch does last a long time.

Yes, it is rebuild time for XSMINI. Watch his rebuild thread, it should get interesting.

Thanks guys, this rebuild is fun. Turned out the head had cracks in every cylinder, but everything else is looking really good. The clutch looks like it had another 100k in it. (:

My 05 will hit 140K before spring starts. Runs great. Only a strange squeaky sound letting out the clutch on cold mornings for the first 2-3 times from a stop. Anyone know what that is?

Sold my Cooper at the end of January with 253K and change on it. I was still on the original clutch, with no signs of slippage at all.

Replaced it with a 2013 Coupe S - a lease return with only 6700 miles on it.

Here's a pic of them both in my driveway:
