New Mini Owner

Hey guys just bought my mini last friday and totally love it. Its a 2004 s model with 69K miles on it. It is a six speed manual. I had a couple of questions i would like to ask anyone.

1. At 70k miles what services need to be done on minis usually?
2. Common problems i should or shouldn't be worried about?
3. My passenger tweeter isnt working and neither is my driver side speaker? is the the beginning of the H/k amp failure? i know its not the speakers i tested them.
4.How long do the clutches last before they need replacement?
5.Will an aftermarket radio work with the H/K system just fine?

Im just curious as to what i need to look out for or be careful with?

any info is greatly appreciated thanks!

just to answer the common problems one:

and I think an aftermarket system would work fine, just get it professionally installed by somebody that knows how to work on minis. I heard if something gets messed up in the radio, it will screw a lot of more things up

nice mini! I love it.
