- Brakes need to have discs and pads replaced at same time
- Water pump is a vulnerable area
- Electric power steering pump is practically a (very expensive) service item it fails in early cars
- That age car will need some bushes changed, especially front control arm bushes
- Front brakes are wooden, definitely need to be upgraded to R56
- UK cars are especially prone to underside rust damage
- Rocker cover gasket
- Window regulators can fail as they have pillarless doors
Great fun, very tuneable which makes them even more fun! More reliable than R56Cooper S by all accounts.
