    Jim, If you have a way of making a call this is the number of my Mini Shop. Owner is factory trained and may know from taking a listen over the phone ???

    Hope this helps: Ryan G. Motorworks 530-305-2499. Ask to speak with Ryan.

    Well F I was wrong. ( that's once this year ) :devil::nonod:

    The last of the first gens must have had it as a option.

    * I bet it was to move the last of the first gen JCW parts off the shelves before the greatest French turbo motor came out in the 2nd gen R56. :lol::lol::lol::lol:

    Still not a big deal as it really does not add much value to the car. I have a 05 JCW that makes much more power to the wheels then all the JCW and each of the GP, the original and the GP II that are rated at the crank and not the wheels.

    The advantage of the factory jcw is you don't have to wonder if it was ordered with LSD. It was.

    For me it was not about someone being right or someone being wrong; I do not want to perpetuate bad information. As one of my favorite talk show hosts (Dennis Prager) frequently states, "I prefer clarity over agreement."

    True, but I was just trying to help a new R53 owner out. :Thumbsup: Long live the R53, the best looking modern MINI EVER made.

    I am home and my car is fixed!

    I got my timing chain tensioner and Bently manual today. Went to the DMV to get temp tags because I bought the car in another state and have to get a VIN verification before I can register it officially. By the time I got home the sun was down so l grabbed a flashlight and some tools. (Yes, my Mini is an outdoor Mini!.) Fifteen minutes later MISTURBD was back to her old self.

    I would like to once again thank everyone for their assistance and support. And hopefully Dave will forgive me for costing him his only allowable mistake for 2016.:Thumbsup:

    Glad to hear you got things worked out.

    Don't worry about Dave, his ego healed within nano-seconds. And, it probably won't take too long for him to piss you off. :biggrin5:
