Took on a project with this 2007 mini cooper s turbocharged. I may have bit off a bit more than I can chew. First: no drain plug. Replaced and filled up with proper oil . Next: No start. Replaced starter (running around in circles ripping my hair out) . Next. No fuel pump engage, replaced left side pump, (hoping someone will just try to burn it up at this point. Next. Changed out the spark plugs, here's where it gets interesting. Are we able to post pictures? I wanna show you the spark plugs. ALL 4 were severely damaged. Replaced them. STILL NO START. please help.
Despite being made by BMW, the ghost of British Leyland haunts those cars. Unfortunately I have to say it's best to get rid of that thing and treat it as a learning experience. You'll be throwing an insane amount of work and money into it otherwise. (Maybe sell off some parts to recoup a few $$$.)
