• Mini Cooper: Are parts expensive?

  They are more expensive than Toyota Corolla parts, but cheaper than parts for a Rolls Royce. Generally, most European vehicles will have more expensive parts compared to a similar Japanese or Korean car and the Mini is no different. Finding a good independent mechanic and researching where parts can be purchased cheaper is how many owners save money.

• Mini Cooper 2018: How to change the oil?

  Take it to a good independent mechanic and have them do it, as you don't save enough money doing the job yourself to make it worthwhile spending the time sourcing your own oil and filter, jacking the car up, risking scaling yourself with hot oil while draining the old oil, making a mess when filling the new oil, then disposing of the old oil (you can't put it in your bin!).
