Most likely timing. Give The Pelican Parts parts specialists a call at 1-888-280-7799. They can figure out what part or repair kit you need.

What year and model MINI do you have? You said it came up with something, does that mean you pulled a specific fault code from the system? What P code was it? It could be a few things. There is a HPFP issue for the R56 N14 engines that have a cold start issue. You could also have an issue with spark plugs/coils or have a carbon issue. How many miles are on your MINI and when was the last time you did a carbon clean up? A fault code will help us further diagnose your issue before just throwing parts at it.
