For such a climate as Mexico I'd stay away from 0w-20 and go at least to 0w-30 or 5w-30, last one being the OEM afaik.
Tbf my specialized mechanic put 5w-40 LL-04 Motul in mine for years and it's been blissful.
Just bought some on amazon a few weeks ago. They fit the curve of the windshield perfectly and do a lovely job of windshield wiping. They were less than $30 each.
We have a 2014 (F56) 2 door, Cooper S, manual. I bought it for my kid pre-pandemic and we've put about 50k km's on it since buying it. Zero issues. We do our own simple maintenance, oil changes, spark plugs, brakes etc and it's no different than any other car really in that respect.
Looks fine, and acts like a shock. That shop just trying to scam you. Bump stops looking torn, but that's fine. Use them as long as possible, eventually upgrade to Koni Yellows if they make it for the Mini's.
Am fix aceasta anvelopa pe un Mini Cooper S, vreo 12.000 km rulați pana acum. Se comporta foarte bine, nimic de reproșat.
I just put the Vrederstein Quatrac Pro+ on my 24 Mini Countryman S All4, replacing the Pirelli runflats that were good tires, but kinda loud and you could feel every imperfection in the road. I don't have a lot of miles on em yet, but they are definitely quieter and more comfortable.
Working well so far with accuspark dizzy and leads and no issues. I have one on my MorrisMini project as well and provides good spark.
Wrong filter? 2002 r53 S used Mann HU 815 /2x
Not any of the rain-x branded ones, I used to get them, they were over priced and never lasted very long.
06 Mini Cooper S. R53.
Was super fun. Broke down about once every 3-6 months. Power steering pump was first. Then had to replace the entire wiring harness. Then A/C compressor. Then timing chain guides. Then throttle body.
