In this video, we buy a 2006 MINI Cooper S R56 with just 57,000 miles on the clock—for only £450!
At first glance, it looks like a bargain… until we discover no compression on cylinders 1, 2, and 4. After some investigation, we uncover the real cause: a stretched timing chain has resulted in 8 bent valves. Ouch.
Watch as we:
Diagnose the engine fault step by step
Remove the cylinder head
Inspect and replace the damaged valves
Fit a full timing chain kit
Reassemble the engine
And fire it back to life!
We reveal the total cost, show the before and after, and discuss whether this £450 MINI was a mistake—or a steal.
