OK all you MCS owners out there - a question!

How noticeable is your ABS test "clunk" when you pull away? On my S it seems a helluva lot louder than it was on my Coop - it's even more noticable as it happens right before the doors auto lock! If you can listen out for it (stereos off please) and let me know - especially if you've previously owned another MINI.

thanks guys:)

I've never heard this at all in my ONE.

Remember Wul that the humble ONE has the same brakes as your mighty S. :p

Have you not ken? that's funny - all the MINI's i've driven have done it - it's even a FAQ on the F&F forum on MINI2! maybe your ONE is special!? :D

My friends Cooper makes a very loud clunking noise but on mine i can hardly notice it, sometimes dont! I think it can vary but i'm no expert.

I never notice it on my car either. Unless it happens at exactly the same time as the doors lock.

I used to hear it before I got the doors programmed to autolock. I must listen more closely.

I've never heard it on my cooper. The only brake clunk I get is when the back brakes stick on a lil when it's been sitting for a while.

For the record, I didn't know ONE's went fast enough to merit brakes. :D:clown::p

Here, theres nothing wrong with the Mighty One's! :mad:
There SO good that they can manage adventures many other MINI's cant.
Or is that just mine?

And they know where to meet when they go on adventure unlike some cooper I know :clown: :p:D:approve:

Can't say I've noticed this Wul. I'll pay extra attention in future :sleepy:

It's not very well known but Duncan's One actually has its own form of Sat-Nav. It follows the 'ley-lines' across the earth, thus heading off on it's own unique wee adventures :approve::cool:
