Model: Mini Cooper S
Year: 2006
Description of problem (please be as in depth as possible): First post so be gentle! I have a 2006 Cooper S, only has 14000 on the clock. I just want to try to gauge opinion on road noise at 55 mph plus (not an easy thing to do I know!) I can hear a low repetitive humm at 50/55 mph plus, It's not really loud as I can't hear it above the stereo. It's not a constant noise either, the noise is spaced out by a couple of seconds or so. I'm wondering if anyone can put my mind at rest the noise and advise if its quite normal at that speed or if I need to take it into a garage to be checked out? Thanks.



Any non-standard parts that might be involved with the problem?

Suggestion would be, to check tyre pressures etc, but also does it happen on a particular road ? it may just be the road surface.

This forum is open to both Minis and MINIs. Please don't send people away as a response to their first post, and especially don't make it sound like you are speaking for the forum.

It is not. Please keep the technical section technical.

I'd properly take it to a garage to get it checked out just to be sure if it was mine

It sounds EXACTLY like a problem my wife had on her Pug. Turned out to be a wheel bearing....
