Two weeks ago, I purchased my first Mini, a 2010 MCS (pics when I wash it). Two days after that, I found a pool of oil underneath and sent it off to Austin. For the next two weeks it was small issues followed by big issues (replaced electronic gear selector). The pool of oil is what I feared to be the timing chain issue but was actually the seal of the timing chain assembly that deformed.

Over the past two weeks I basically read the entire forums to fill the Mini void and am so happy to finally get it back and am hopefully off to a nice future of Mini motoring and modding.

 

Glad your 2 weeks MINIless did not sway your judgement as so many others...Love a MINI...Feed the Soul!!

Happy Motoring!!

 

Timewards, I've put 33,000 sMILES on my 2010 MINI. All carefree. I've been to the Dragon twice, and on track about 3 times. You are going to ENJOY your vehicle! I believe you will ALSO enjoy the same bliss with yours
