UK R60 Cooper S, N18 engine, late 2010 car. Mine threw a check engine light/limp home mode at 59,500 miles, 8 years old. Had a few rough starts recently where the engine nearly stalled.

Got P0087 error code once but once cleared, car was running fine. Got the part for £360 from Neobros, followed a guide on here (although the R60 is slightly different). Less than 30 mins work once you know what you're doing, the most difficult part was removing the flexi fuel line as the two plastic clips inside snapped straight away.

Car seems to be running fine now.

Anyone know if the HPFP has been redesigned and will actually work for more than 30k miles? I'm on my third HPFP since I bought the car and looking for a real fix, not just plugging in another poorly designed part. I've got a 2009 S with 158k miles so no dealer help here. Is there anyone making a quality part that doesn't fail on a regular basis.

it’s the luck of the draw. My original pump lasted 100,000. My second 30,000. I have a feeling it has something to do with the ethanol in the fuel.

Some people believe that they have ran there fuel lower or near empty on the tank more then often and sediment has gotten past the filter and thus very fine sediment has caused the fuel to not lube the HPFP internals. I guess its possible.

My car started bogging down and shaking at high speeds. It’s a 2009 MCS with 130,000 miles on it, when I got off the highway and came to a stop it died. It started up and managed to get it home but now won’t start at all. Could this be the fuel pump?

Could be, but it doesn't fit the usual symptoms.

Could be the in tank pump. Those symptoms don’t sound like the HPFP

I replaced the hpfp and spark plugs, now the car runs and doesn’t die but it runs super rough and doesn’t have any throttle...

Elaborate on what you mean by “doesn’t have throttle” What happens when you give it some throttle. Does it want to die? Does it sputter and backfire? Is it throwing any codes?

When I hit the accelerator the car doesn’t respond in any way. It doesn’t rev, it doesn’t move, and it doesn’t sputter.

any Codes? If the accelerator doesn’t have any effect on engine speeds that’s a new one for me.

This cooper is a death trap, I had to jump start it once and the speedometer stopped working but parts of the tachometer work like the digital screen yet it lost the back lighting

Any History on the car? Might want to start your own thread so it receives more traffic.At this point all of your symptoms point to a bad Battery IMO. Iv found that Minis react strangely to a bad or dying battery. I know when mine was going my rear hatch would open at random and my windows would roll down on their own.

Wow my windows were doing that and so was my hatch! But I finally bought a scanner and it scanned a P0503 code which I’m reading is hard to diagnose but would that not allow the car to drive?

did you replace your battery? Like I said a bad battery will cause these cars to go haywire. The P60503 could be caused by a bad battery. Or is could be a speed sensor
