Mini Manual an essential.

A must needed resource for anyone with a Mini out of warranty or just want to be informed of what is needed to be done to understand why they charge $$$$.

It paid for itself the first time I used it

I recently bought an used 2004 Mini Cooper, the windshield wipers were worn out, the front washer nozzles were out of alignment, and the rear washer nozzle was completely blocked, I changed the wipers, align the front nozzles (with exact measurements) and unblock the rear one, just following the instructions in the manual. I could probably have done it by myself but it's nice knowing what you are doing in advance.

PROS: Lots of information, lots of illustrations, better than Haynes manuals.

CONS: The manual some times refers you to other sections, some of the images are not that clear, and it uses a lot of specialized tools from BMW.

Bentley's Mini Cooper Service Manual

After 20 years of using Bentley manuals I expected a better product. The manual is ok as a basic repair manual, but lacks the in depth details that one would expect from advanced manuals. One thing this manual does that really drives me nuts is how it constantly refers you to other sections of the manual in order to complete one single task. That may be ok if you're sitting down in your living room reading over a repair, but when you're in the garage and you're hands are covered in grease skipping around a service book it's a pain. It comes across as the publisher is too cheap to reprint the information. Aren't repair manuals supposed to simplify the repair process? I do have to say that the electrical portion of the manual is up to the standards that I would expect from Bentley. Fortunately, as weak as this manual is, it is still better than any other Mini Cooper manual I have seen.

Mini Cooper Manual 2002-06 review

This is probably the thickest,heavyest manual for the smallest car that I have ever seen. It contains a wealth of information in great detail about everything except what I really want to know. How do the CVT or 6 speed automatics work? What's inside the supercharger? It shows how to remove these from the car but not how they actually function or how they come apart.I know somewhere in BMWland there must be manuals that are more explicit.

A good place to start

I recently got the "bible" after 2 years of doing work on my 05 MCS with only the NAM How Tos to guide me. Honestly, they are better than the Bentley, but do not cover as many mods or repairs. Even though the Bentley is comprehensive it still misses a lot, and hence my title: a good place to start, but in the end, "learning by doing" will get the job done, with the occasional check with the NAMers to make sure there's nothing unusual or unexpected when you do the job.
