Selling my 2008 Mini Cooper automatic. I’ve put a fair amount of work into it and unfortunately it’s time to let it go.
Recent work includes:
* Timing chain replaced in 2023
* Aluminum thermostat housing replaced in 2026
* Oil filter housing replaced in 2026
* Valve cover and gasket/seals replaced recently
* Automatic transmission
* Approximately 184000 km
What it needs:
The Mini is currently running stuttering at red lights and stops. Will need some additional work before being used as a daily driver. Items that may need attention include the PCV valve cover, 4 new spark plugs and spark plug tube seals
It is ticking in the middle of the engine. I noticed it was very low on oil I did add more and topped off the coolant.
This would be a good project for someone familiar with Minis or someone looking for a small car to repair. Hella lights no included. Eager to sell as we are looking at something bigger!
