Anyone found a useful Factory Service Manual that will help you fix your Mini yoruself? Lot out there seem to be expensive and only surface info. Mine is a 20007 Mini Cooper S CONVERTIBLE, so i beleive it is a 1st gen R52.
There are only 2 manuals on the market for your car. I don't think either says they comver 2007 since the 1st gen kinda ended with the 2006 models except for the Convertible. Bentley has one. the ISBN is 0837615119 Many of the sponsors here on Motoring Alliance carry them. Haynes has one as well. ISBN 1844258041 It has been my experience that the Bentley is much much better. Plus it is written in US English as opposed to UK English.
The Bentley Manual is the best, and we have the newest version in stock. Bentley MINI Service & Repair Manual - Way Motor Works
