    Well last week I head a dreaded rattle from the back end of my countryman.. thinking brakes stripped and cleaned....
    Nowt..

    So after a dig about in the wheel arch found that the rear anti roll bar links were wonky...

    Trip to dealer and couple penny's lighter switched them out ......

    RESULT!...

    Dealer suggested I use them to change out..weather being what it is in November I said what's the price.....

    £137........ eh........ took me 25mins to do myself and parts cost me less than a tenner...

    Love a local mini dealer...

    Anyone else had issues similar?

    (Even if I bought sockets to do the job still quids in.....)

    I just put front drop links on my old R50. 20 mins a side and £14 each part = no more rattles. Was a doddle to do.
