Hi all. Well, my wife's '09 clubman bit the dust. It only has 98,000 miles on it and the timing chain let go. We now have a 2009 model paper weight.
Can I get a motor for this thing without having it cost me more than the car is worth?
Thanks,
Walter

Sorry to hear that

Thanks for the suggestion. I found a place that is only around 10 miles from my house and they have several motors. I'm sure I'll be using it for other cars too!

I found a motor for my wife's '09 clubman. What is involved in swapping out these motors? I've done engine swaps on other cars, but they were rear wheel drive and they were 40+ years old -- Volvo, Triumph, Ford, Studebaker....
I don't know if I should get the motor and install it myself. If I have it installed, the cost of motor + installation will be what the car is worth or more. Any advice or suggestions?
Thanks,
Walter

$100 bucks for a Bentley Manual would be a wise investment at this point.

 

If the car is automatice, you can pull the engine and tranz from the top even though it is a little tight. But if it is manual, you need to get the nose out.

the removal is easy and everything is accessible. As mentioned above, you can get the manual or fine the same info here https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en

There are few threads about engine swaps also that you could search for.

 

Thanks for all the replies and suggestions.
We ended up selling the car and it was hauled away yesterday.
Hopefully I'll still be lurking around the forum with a new (to me) Mini in the future. I'll be on the lookout for a regular Mini with manual trans.
