Hi all, i have a 07 cooper diesel with 75,000 miles on the clock, the clutch has just started to slip but only on the torque overboost under hard acceleration and it is used as a learner car so probobaly gets more abuse than normal, my question is does all the front of the car have to come off as i've seen with the older style mini to remove gearbox so the clutch can be changed? Can't find any information on the newer shaped cars
