Replaced Exhaust system with Maniflow exhaust as well as replacing other things. However, Mini has recently developed Misfire on Cylinder 3.

Sorry, forgot to update, we found out the problem was the head gasket, it had split between cylinders 3 and 4.

Just got rid of the annoying 'avast secure browser' which I did not want on my computer. When uninstalling it, it asked me why. My answer. 'because I use chrome like a normal person'

The Mini is struggling to select second and reverse. I worry that the clutch is failing (which I'm guessing is not an engine in-situ job) or the synchros on 2 and 3 are wrecked... :(

nicklouse
sounds like you have a leak somewhere.

Vinay-RS
Probably, especially since the system is supposed to be sealed. need to clean everything and see where the fluid is being lost.

I've put new seal kits through the slave and master recently. Very easy and cheap to do if the bores are in good condition.

Noise cancelling headphones saved my ears on the motorway. Must consider better soundproofing.
