Hi all,

sorry if i'm covering old ground but I couldn't find anything on the PH search. I am looking to buy a Cooper S, probably on an 03 plate with around 50k on the clock. I was just wondering if there are any issues or things in particular to watch out for with these cars. Any advice appreciated.

Cheers,

Ed

Powersteering pumps
Clutches
Flywheels
Head gaskets
Oil filled engine mounts
Steering racks

The the main ones i can thin of off my head other than the engine mount there all pretty dear to get put right. If your buying private id recomend taking someone mechanically minded to look at the car, if not choose a main dealer car for the warranty back up is my advise
