What year of mini?!

Do you have a stage one kit fitted?

What air filter do you have fitted (cone or KnN in the standard filter box?)

What is the emissions on the MOT?

I know I'm giving you more questions but there are a few variables from car to car.

As a more serious offering, it can also be the Alternator.

Commonly an air leak.

 


Where would it leak air?

 

Where there are gaskets and where there are vacuum and breather pipes if something's split.
