Looking sharp Hugh! Love your videos. Please do a 3rd gen video as well, I look forward to seeing what problems you get with the 3rd gen.

nice guide. I've got two LCI cars and as long as you keep on top of things they are still a fun car

Referring to R56. The rubbers of the filter housing are the same material as the rubber of the filter washer, so whenever the filter is changed, the rubber with the filter must also be changed. This means that the lifetime of the rubbers of the housing is the same as the filter washer. So, in my opinion, the housing should also be added a normal gasket with the rubbers. Do you agree?

I love Mini ! Idk why !

Thanks? Not sure the dealership will let me take the engine out to check for these things. Would love to know what to actually check for

[@TheMiniSpecialist]

no - I don't imagine any car sales person would allow you remove the engine 😳however you can still check for oil burn, oil leaks and ask the questions such as 'has the camchain been changed?'

[@replay6896]

Is the 3rd gen mini any better regarding the cam chain nightmares?

[@TheMiniSpecialist]

We have never had any issues with a camchain on a 3rd gen
