Hi everyone. I just thought I'd contribute to the community by sharing my existing parts list with part numbers that fit the mini. It has taken me a significant amount of searching for some of these that may have been obvious to others

If anyone else here has some common part numbers for uncommon mini parts, I'd appreciate it if you shared

Oil Filters (brands that I would recommend):
Bosh 3330, 72150 or 72161
Purolator PL10028 or PL10241
Ac Delco PF53

Spark Plugs:
NGK BPR6EY (Stock number 2489 or 6247)

Spark Plug Wires:
Ask for 69 Austin America or a 71 MG Midget
Denso 671-4114
NGK EUX033 (Stock number 54406)

Radiator Cap:
Unipart 9132
Stant 11329

Radiator Fan (10"):
I am using a Hayden Rapid Cool 3670 from Pepboys ($45). Following the instructions, I converted it from a push to a pull through.

Alternator:
1998 - 2001 Saturn 1.9L (SW2 would work). $30 used off ebay, $80 + $25 Core charge remanufactured.
I had to pick up an aftermarket V-groove pulley. Pepboys/Autozone has replacement V groove pulleys as cosmetic modifications under the brand Sceptre.

 

for those of us who have late model mpi cars we have an impact switch that cuts the fuel pump off. this is the exact same switch used on all 02 MINIs. BMW part number: 07 13 1 0 68 856.
also the cooper S up to 07 use the same black plastic radiator cap.
