There is a year split in 9/2009 for the R56 Cooper ( Non S ) . Get the special spark plug socket tool also its a 14mm 12 point 3/8 drive and then use an extension. Plugs are about 9.50 a piece and up dependent on brand. Replace in sets of four of course.

Couldn't find a DIY for the vacuum pump O-ring, but the O-ring itself can be found here.

Thanks for the links. Already ordered and got the spark plugs and the o-ring, now just waiting for a warmer day to Install them

Now it looks like I also need rear brake pad+rotor+sensor. Can you suggest which one I should get?
