Picked this cooper s up with 50K (56K now) miles, just had the timing chain and tensioner replaced, rocker cover replaced, oil and coolant are stable despite it burning about a litre of oil every 2000 miles, no warning lights. Is this a normal sound and if not what’s it likely to be. Thanks

you might be living on borrowed time. Cracked on my 2013 Cooper S right on the inlet tube, seems like a pretty common issue with it being plastic. Props to FCP Euro for getting the new one to me the next day, fairly easy swap and didn't even need to bleed the system.
