My wife has a 07 R56 cooper S, which we bought with 10253 miles on the clock and less than two years old.
Within two weeks of purchase it was back at the dealers having a new timing chain kit fitted - mileage 10492 (n)
Just had to replace the chain kit again, mileage 21259 :eek:
So it's not even eight years old and on it's third timing chain kit :mad: :mad: :mad:
