I am looking for a complete set of MINI 2002 S shop manuals. I do not want any one working on her except me; I have learned to mistrust dealers. I have found this is the best way of assuring they keep going well past 200,000 miles. I have had several cars see over 300k miles. Without the proper manuals and tools, Pepper does not stand much of a chance, of growing old with grace, beauty, and pride let alone seeing the quarter million miles my wife has come to expect. I want to thank you a head of time for your hhelp

Many people have the same desire for these manuals (myself included) - but, to the best of my knowledge, they are not yet available. I believe a number of companies are working to produce them, but I have no idea how much longer it will be before they are available.

The last I recall reading about this was a number of weeks (a month or two?) ago. So, there may be more current information that I'm not aware of.

Bentley manuals are always top-notch. Doesn't look like they have one yet, but they are almost guaranteed to have one long before your warranty runs out.

Be patient and keep checking here, as they do publish updates and news of upcoming manuals: Bentley Publishing
