If you own one of these fabulous cars then you know how fun it is to drive. And, you probably know that your MINI is packed with some of BMW’s latest automotive technology. But if you want to maintain and repair your car yourself (or just want to understand what’s going on under the bonnet), you’ll be wanting the MINI Cooper, Cooper S 2002-2004 Service Manual by Bentley Publishers. This is the only comprehensive, single source of service information and specifications available for MINI models from 2002-2004. The aim throughout this manual has been simplicity, clarity and completeness, achieved through practical explanations, step-by-step procedures and accurate specifications.

MINI Cooper Service Manual
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.

Mini Cooper Manual
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.

Must have for the serious MINI owner
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.
