MINI diesel work — earlier R-series and later F-series Cooper D / One D / Countryman D — uses BMW-derived diesel engines including the N47 family on R-series, and B47 / B37 on later cars. We diagnose, repair and service MINI diesels independently.
For the BMW chain-related issues that affect some R-series MINIs, see our timing chain replacement page.
MINI diesels share architecture with BMW — so the same care and diagnostic approach applies. We diagnose first then quote.
