Anyone here own a Bini, around 2001-2004. What is the road tax for 6 and 12 months? :)

    Great car to drive and easily upgraded to Cooper performance with a bluefin.

    Check the Rover gearbox on pre-2004 models for bearing noise, check everything electrical works and don't worry if the power steering whines. PS pumps can fail but are an easy diy job but allow £200 for a recon pump if it does.

    Also look up 'death rattle' on Google. Had to replace a few engines in the past.

    I think the 'death rattle' problems were only on the later Mk2 Cooper S introduced in 2007?
