The Bentley MINI Cooper Service Manual is an absolute must for MINI owners wishing to perform any type of maintenance on his or her car. This book is as thick as a phonebook and packed full of step-by-step instructions for tasks ranging from changing a light bulb to diagnosing complex fuel injection problems. Bentley has been a leader in automotive service books for years and this manual will not disappoint. It is comprehensive, well organized, and written in such a way that a shade tree mechanic or a professional technician will find it equally useful.

This is no mini manual, it is actually quite large, full of great info. Wheather you are like me and just wanting to do simple maintence or a mechanic that really wants to get into it, this is the book for you. It pays for itself just with the first oil change, or the first time you need to turn off the service light. Mini mechanics in Boston are 95 bucks an hour, so anything that I can do will save me money. This book is very detailed and has plenty of photos clearly labled. It is layed out pretty well and easy to find items. Also it does a great job seperating the Cooper S from the Regular model (by photos an text) I highly recommend it, I have not read through any others but after this book I dont think I will need any others.

I purchased this book prior to converting my 2002 MCS to a showroom stock car.
My first step was to remove the supercharger.
If you have worked on your MCS, you know that the supercharger appears to be the 1 part the rest of the car was built around.

The details in the manual are very clear, and the steps are logical and they even include short cuts.

You also get the part numbers, wiring diagrams, and everything you need to really know the car and fix it yourself.

This is NOT a chilton/hayes Manual.
IT HAS DETAIL!!!!

From brake jobs, to engine removal, to speaker installs, this is the single best "mod" you can buy for your MCS.

Never worked on a front wheel drive car before (all old school here) and consider this manual the best investment I could have made before beginning a clutch replacement and new rotors and pads.

Well written, well illustrated and worth every penny.

Cheers,
Lloyd

If you do any type of work on your mini buy this book. Everyone from beginners to shadetree DIYers to experienced automotive techs could use this book.

This is an excellent resource for the novice and experienced individual interested in knowing more about their mini. The information and instructions are detailed and references to appropriate tools are included.

This book is very valuable to someone who lives a long distance from an authorized dealer, but would like to maintain their mini. Level 1 and 2 inspections are thoroughly explained along with many technical tips.

As an experience car restorer and motorsports enthusiast, this manual was one of the best encountered.

Does as advertised. It could be a little more user friendly, maybe I am just used to Chilton's.

I have a used 2003 Mini Cooper. If I dont have this book, I'll be end up paying alot of money for repair and replacing used part.

This book give you step by step how to do it.

Also tell you how to reset the electronic parts.

This book will be a good investment, it will save you money in parts and labor.

I own a Mini Cooper S 2004 and this book is a really life saver. It show you how to do from a basic service to a more deep one. It has very detailed ilustrations and its a MUST HAVE. I Recommend it!
