Hi all! Couldn't find similar topic, so had to start a new post with my problem. We are experiencing strange, occasional issue with our Cooper here. It happens maybe once in a month or two - especially when my wife is driving. I had myself this stall once when I had to cross a 4 lane highway to make a left turn - I almost stopped in the middle of the road. The car wont rev on low rpm when this happens. If you can get past 2k, then it revs. When You put in Drive gear, it immediately stalls... Mini Cooper R56 2013 2.0D N47 stalling issue ..read more

HI, Before I spend any more time and money on my 2015 1.5L Diesel mini I thought I would ask for some advice in here. My original problem which i have had for couple of years is that intermittently the engine will run rough at idle as if the stop/start wants to switch the engine off but it doesnt quite do it. The drivetarin warning text also comes on usually when I accelerate in 1st and 2nd gear. Fault codes I read were: 24F700 Fuel-filter heating, activation: open circuit 279100 -...

Hi everyone, I'm new to the mini world but have many years in the motor trade. I have a just got a cooper D for a run about and going to carry out a full service as she's a high miler.

My query is I'm planning on removing the gauze in the turbo oil feed pipe and as I'll have the DPF off to do this I was thinking of removing the DPF and CAT core...
