Our 2003 MC has been a Great Car. We have no regrets in purchasing this car.As of today it only has 19,450 miles on it. Our warranty expires soon. I am really not concerned about this. Have found a good local Garage here in NH who only Services BWW,S & Now Mini Coopers. I take very Good care of our Vehicles & expect to own the Mini for at least 2-3 more years. I have had the following Done since we took delivery on 03/01/03.
1. 3 Oil Changes ( 2 Free)
2. New Spark Plugs ( Platinum) Probably not needed but did it anyways.
3. Microfilter replaced. Did this myself. Boy was it Dirty.
4. Coolant Changed Twice
5. Brake Fluid Flushed & Changed Twice
6. New Battery installed today.
7. New Front & Wiper Blades Twice

This Spring i will put on a New Set of 15" All Season Tires. Have been told my Brakes are still good. Also was told that the CVT Tranny Fluid does not need to be Changed until around 27,000 miles.

I am not a Mechanic. I rely the advice of People who are. So if anyone can offer me advice on what other things i should do i would appreciate it.

2003 MC. PW/B , DSC, CVT, Premium Pkg, Fog Lamps. After MKT Rear Spoiler & Center & Door Arm Rests.

 

I'll drop a freindly reminder for the lower mileage drivers, the oil does break dwon over time so if I've doing less than the service interval every year be sure to change it.

Other than that sounds like you're in pretty good shape, stay ontop of the air pressures and remember to wave to your fellow MINIacs
