    Limp home mode week last Wed. Turned out to be the exhaust side camshaft phaser plug has gone faulty. Also the timing chain is rattling really bad at all times now, not just when it’s cold. Was beginning to run a bit tougher before the limp home so gonna get the timing chain and the guides\tensioner done at the same time... advised by 2 garages that I trust not to drive it so it’s parked til they are available...

    Not good at all. Sorry to read that your new car is needing work already. But best not to move as your doing already

    Cheers - it’s my own fault... I said I’d never buy another N14\18 engine MINI and listened to others that said the N18 was much better and hardly had any issues... here I am 2 months into ownership with a broken car and a bill that appears the Warranty won’t cover... Xmas is cancelled

    anyone noticed more pops with different fuel. I've been using Tesco Momentum 99 and it was banging like mad today. Tried Shell V power and it wasn't as violent. Wish I had the funds for all the mods I want to do to make it growl and pop even more.

    I have also found that I get more pops/bangs/claps when using Momentum.
    I usually fill up with V-Power down here due to the fact there’s no Tesco within miles of where I live or on my commute.
