The MINI R59 Cooper S Roadster delivers classic Cooper S performance with the added joy of convertible motoring.

At The MINI (&BMW) Specialist in Great Bridge, we offer transparent, fixed-price servicing for your Roadster. OE-quality parts, BMW-approved oils, VAT, labour, and a full technician inspection are all included — no hidden extras.

MINI R59 Cooper S FAQs
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| How often should I service my Cooper S Roadster? | We recommend every 10,000–12,000 miles or yearly. More frequent oil changes help prolong timing chain and turbo life. |
| Does this engine suffer from oil leaks? | Yes — common issues include oil filter housing and rocker cover leaks, often worsening with age. We check and advise accordingly. |
| What causes the rattle on cold start? | That’s typically worn timing chain guides or a stretched chain — we check for this noise and recommend action before failure occurs. |
| Can coolant leaks look like a water pump fault? | Yes — a plastic pipe under the thermostat often leaks and mimics water pump failure. We know how to tell the difference. |
| Will you reset the service history? | Absolutely. We reset the onboard reminder and update your digital record where applicable. |
