MINI Cooper & Cooper S Service Manual (2002–2004)

If you own one of these fabulous cars, you already 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 simply understand what's going on under the bonnet — you'll need the MINI Cooper, Cooper S 2002–2004 Service Manual by Bentley Publishers. This is the only comprehensive, single-source service manual and specification guide available for MINI models from 2002–2004.

The aim throughout this manual is simplicity, clarity, and completeness, achieved through practical explanations, step-by-step procedures, and accurate specifications. Whether you're a professional technician or a do-it-yourself MINI owner, this manual will help you understand, care for, and repair your car.

Based on factory information and heavily supplemented by hands-on experience, the Bentley editorial team disassembled and photographed several MINI models for this project at the Bentley Service Information Research Center.
