I'd still go back to post #2 - damper fail. I've seen more post on mini related sites lately describing the same problem. I believe heat...

btw, what did the old plugs look like when you pulled those out?

Hard starting = starts but not instantly, right? If yes the fuel pressure test at the rail will tell you what you need to know about fuel pump and...

I think you've figured it out at this point. But, as confirmation, I had a similar leak and YES it was in fact a leaking timing cover gasket. Its...

and sometimes I'll pull my car on ramps, or steep incline to get that front bleed screw in the upmost position to move air out. I'd make certain...
