• I've had a R55 Cooper S for a little over a year (clubman) which gives a little more room and I prefer the looks over the hatchback. Brilliant cars and highly recommend one - replace my mx5

    main issues are:-

    -timing chain/guides
    -carbon build up on valves and intake ports - require walnut blasting
    -oil leaks - mainly from turbo oil line
    -oil leak from rocker cover
