    Right bit the bullet and nipped into John clarks but went straight into the workshop and grabbed a techy who duly informed me that it was the rocker cover gasket apparently they are weak at the back left corner!!!! So ordered the bit £16ish pounds and gonna get a homer done from a lad at work!!!! Also just asking but when should the transmission fluid be changed??? And is the clutch always heavy???? Cheers peeps

    BMW say the transmission fluid is good for the life of the car, but I changed mine at 60k. It was really easy to do, and good for peace of mind


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

    Yeah, R53 cooper s clutches do tend to be quite heavy(in my experience) so I don't think this is something to worry about....
