R56/7 Mini Timing Chain Issue
Discussion
Mrs has recently bought a 2010 Mini Cooper from a Mini dealer - from what I read the death rattle/timing chain issue seems like a 'when not if' time bomb waiting to go off. The car has 50k miles and a full Mini service history and 11m of the approved used warranty.
Is it really as bad as that? Are there any stats on how many engines of the total run are affected? Is there a preventative regime I can use to minimise the risk?
I don't want to get unduly paranoid about this if there is no need.
Thoughts appreciated
