hey guys,
got a 2002 mini cooper.
yesterday when i was driving with some friends in the back seat my car was a bit sluggish, thought it was just cause they were sitting in the back seats weighing down the car.
anyway noticed my shoe was sorta vibrating a lil when i resting it on the clutch, and i thought that was just cause i wasnt wearing shoes.
anyway a few hours later without my friends sitting in the back i noticed a low/soft grinding sort of noise. so i took off my shoes and started driving and the clutch was totally wierd. it vibrates quite noticably when i bearly put my foot's weight on it and makes a grinding sort of noise if a push it a few cm in.
the car was also quite sluggish despite the fact i had no one sitting in the back anymore.
Also when i changed gears it made a really wierd high pitchish noise once.
anyway dropped it off at bmw at night, gotta wait till thurs till they can have a look at it cause today is a public holiday...
anyway, anyone got any idea what this is????

 

Is it an Cooper S or Cooper?

 

its a r50 cooper
