Hi Forumites,
No doubt this has been asked a gazillion times before, I had a quick search and didn't find much apart from a guy anting to buy supercharged mini on P plates, I wish him all the very best.
I am looking for anything to watch out for the Cooper / Cooper S model, looking around the 03 to 04 vintage, preferably an auto trans. Any specific years that were known to be a "bad year" The vehicle is for my wife. Found out they don't have a spare tyre and run some sort of "won't go flat tyres" sound expensive.
Spare parts, easy / hard? Sun roof(s) are they prone to leaking? Auto trans, any model to avoid? Engines, fully serviced how many klms are they good for?
Interiors, hard wearing, prone to rips? Squeaks / rattles? electrics, prone to any issues?
Any help gratefully received and thank you up front................:puzzled:
