- The car would not start, had to get BMW services out to the car. the car has done 190000 miles and has a full service history
hi if your camshaft had broke the car wouldn,t start and if the camshaft had broke the camshafts had a fault in it and it makes no sense what so ever cause if all your valves want changing the car wouldn,t start and if it did it would run very badly you are being took for a ride on this discription if you had a knocking noise from the top end of the engine the camshaft and rockers are proberly at fault may run like this for a long time or not but if i were you i would take it to another garage for a second opinion don,t mention about what bmw said something is not right here if this car is new then what mileage has it done and complain to bmw to fix it as this should not happen [free] these cams should last 100000 miles ifoil changes are done when they are suppose to good luck yates210456

- hi you said it was new so that said 190.000 miles but i stand by what i said if the cams broke then it won,t start get a second opinion but ifs done that type of mileage i would have the engine completly overhauled its not going to do much more just a comment for emmisionwiz nice to see you read others comments epspecially mine you will learn something so before you comment you should read what was posted which is i have a new mini cooper s not the reply to what i asked which was what is the mileage as obviously 190000 is not been done on a new vechicle which i didnt state steve2001 did

I have changed the MAF sensor on the Korando and it is now running too rich as if the auto choke is still opening. I now have an air temp sensor to fit but cant find it in the air box or ducting. Seems strange? Anyone any ideas
