    Can't vouch for the Cooper, but the belt drives the supercharger on the S, and I change mine every year regardless of mileage; same with oil.


    Feet were made to fit car pedals. If we were meant to walk, we'd have pogo sticks for legs

    For all the cost, it's worth it for peace of mind IMO. If the belt was to fail, it would potentially result in a lot of damage as it drives the water pump

    No idea, best ask them. I got my supercharger belt for roughly £20 iirc
