:cornut: With a Bentley Manual, you have ALL needed info at your finger tips. Problem diagnosis, what to do, all of the disassembly/reassembly in correct order, a wealth of info such that an apprentice mechanic like me can fix my MINI correctly. It tells you what tools and alerts you to when another pair of hands is needed. You want to work on your own MINI, get a Bentley Manual and the job will be done correctly the first time. Jason

is this what we are talking about? MINI Cooper Service Manual: 2007-2011 Â -Â Bentley Publishers - Repair Manuals and Automotive Books
Yup that is the Bible of your car. If you buy it and read it you can almost fix anything with the correct tools.
:cornut: I just went and did a search and couldn't find foreign language Bentley MINI Manuals but I'm sure that they are available on European or other foreign sites. We had some UK MINIacs that used to show up and could probably help you but I can't them in the forums. Jason
:cornut: No they want you to buy the manual. As DaveO. said- tell us your concerns and we'll be happy to help. DaveO. has a wealth of knowledge as well as many others around here. Jason
They have an online form you can fill out. Feedback  - Bentley Publishers - Repair Manuals and Automotive Books Ask your questions there. I'd imagine they will get back to you. Alternatively, go to your dealer and ask them if you can buy, borrow, beg or steal the MINI ETK. It comes in many languages. I have a sneaking suspicion they will say no.
Well my mini has issues 1. main issue is finding what could be the problem for oil burning and how to fix this? 2. second issue -that appeared a year ago and was fixed- was the loss of overboost at 4000rpm. It was fixed by replacing a faulty map sensor. now i felt again that loss of power but it is not constant, it comes and goes, who know maybe it could be the second map sensor coming to its lifetime end or might it be something else?
Have you checked to see if its throwing any codes. Never run a turbo car hard and shut it off with out giving the turbo time to cool and stabilize. I would let it idle fore about 2 min before turning off the motor. Also change the oil often.
