I've bought a 2005 R53 Mini Cooper S from Copart with the description stating it had a undiagnosed noise from the engine bay. After getting the car, I quickly discovered a very strange noise on lift off and a lack of power. After a bit of research, its pointing towards the timing being out. So, in this video I change the timing chain, chain guides and tensioner to hopefully resolve the problem!
