Just bought a Laser blue MCS, 28K miles on it...Already having issues. For some reason the site will not let me post a new thread, any suggestions? I'm lost..
:cornut: What year model is your MCS as in R53 or R56? The site problem- PM the moderator if some one else doesn't come along soon. Congratulations on the 'new to you' MINI and welcome to MA. Most MINI problems can be worked out so keep checking back. In the mean time, more info on your MINI and being very specific about your MINI's problems would be most helpful. Jason
Welcome to M/A the FUN Mini site. Post up the info about your car and I am sure one of us on M/A can assist you.
Welcome to Motoring Alliance, thanks for joining. As to the problem creating a new thread, well you did in this area which leads me to believe you were probably trying to create a new thread about the issue you are having in a Sponsor area. I've seen that before. For 1st generation (02-06) try here please. Cooper S - Motoring Alliance :: MINI Cooper Forums For 2nd generation (07-13) try here please.

2010 MCS. Loud screeching/ grinding noise at start up in the morning. Issue disappears after that. Worse if the car sits for a couple of days. Need to call the sealer?
Sounds like the notorious "death rattle".. aka timing chain tensioner. I the car is still within warranty then it is certainly a trip to the dealer.
It may also help if you tell us where you are located so we can point you in the right direction for a NON-Dealership option if they say it is not under warranty.
