Replying to: rlmiller9 (May 28, 2009 4:56 pm) Do you mean an automatic transmission? Are you sure it was properly serviced and fluid changed? If it's the manual trans, should be no trouble at all. We have an '03 MCS with over 100k miles and a manual trans, no trans problems at all. Replies to this message: pulax30 (May 29, 2009 6:29 am)

Replying to: shark715 (May 29, 2009 6:21 am) what kind of problems have you had? I've been looking into getting a '02-'04 MCS. All the reviews for the are great, but I've heard the first gen have some reliability issues and are expensive to repair.
#242 of 282 '07+ Mini key fob by bodble2 May 30, 2009 (11:12 am)
The chrome-finish ring that goes around the circumference of the key fob on our '07 Mini just cracked and is falling off. Does anyone know if that thing has any functionality, or is it just ornamental, and I can just rip it off?
#243 of 282 Run flats by extech2 Jul 06, 2009 (2:29 pm)
I'd like to know if the run flat tires on the Cooper S can be changed to normal tires without buying four new wheels as well. Another thing, is there room for a spare in the back of the S model ? Otherwise I might just get the regular Cooper, sometimes next year, when my VW GTI lease is up. Thanks for any advice.

Replying to: extech2 (Jul 06, 2009 2:29 pm) Yes. It is no problem at all. I do not carry a spare because I carry a can of that flat repair/inflator and/or rely on the Auto Club if I get a flat. Depending on waht you buy, you will get better performance at a lower cost with traditional tires.

#247 of 282 Questions about my Mini 07 Turbo by mini007 Jul 16, 2009 (6:54 pm)
Hello!   I have the 07 Mini Turbo. I would just like to ask if it's wiser or better to have the dealership do the oil change? How many times do I have to do the oil change anyway? some say every 3-5k, some say 7.5k, some say ONCE a year is enough...I'm confused!   Also, what are some tips on maintaining my turbo engine or the car itself? I would love to just keep this car till the end, and so I would really like to know how to take care of it. I heard that we don't have to worry about anything coz the computer on the car would let us know if there are any problems at all...is this true?   THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ANY HELP!
