Stock Problems/IssuesDiscussions related to warranty related issues and repairs, or other problems with the OEM parts and software for MINI Cooper (R50), Cabrio (R52), and Cooper S (R53) MINIs.
So I was driving home from work today and it sounded like something fell off my car, so I turned around and picked it up off the road and it was this. It looks like the part where it broke off was jb welded on at some point. Any help would be much appreciated.
Good clue. Sounds like the counterweight got jammed against the crossmember, and someone forced it. I'd guess it wasn't done by the dealer, or a specialist with a lot of MINI experience.
I know MINI won't help you. I'm trying to find a Getrag supplier myself. I need new clutch plates for my differential. It seems like the only part that's available separately are the axle seals. Good luck.
