Bought this the other day delighted with it,believe it use to belong to a club member?
Engine is a 1098
12g295 head (goes well)
Stage one kit
Head steady
Front Hi Lo's
few other bits and peices
First thing to change is the wheels!

Very nice Clubman.
Who used to own it from the Club?
I reckon the wheels suit it though!
What wheels are you putting on it instead?

ya happens some times on coopers some times when you push the piston back in a small amount of dirt goes back in with it which then cause the piston to cock in side the bore. just check for sings of a piston not pushing out.
If its not that im stumped did you do anything elce ?
