Bushings: The MINI uses four hydraulic bushings. In the front, the hydraulic bushing is located at the rear of the control arms. In the rear, the hydraulic bushing mounts the trailing arm to the body. The R-series number closely resembles the E- and F-series numbers for BMW models. The R stands for Rover.

Code 2A32 (P1014) refers to an eccentric sensor issue Code 2A37 (P1017) also refers to an eccentric sensor issue Code 2A45 (P103A) refers to an actuator motor malfunction The transfer case is a rather unique design in the way that it operates a clutch pack mechanically, not hydraulically, somewhat like a GM.

The days are gone when transmissions were purely mechanical and hydraulic and all you really needed was a set of high-pressure gauges to check line pressure and a vacuum gauge to check the engine’s intake vacuum and the integrity of the vacuum modulator. The topology for these networks is typically a loop.

Around 2004, many manufacturers of AWD systems started to abandon complex transfer case center differentials in favor of less expensive clutches. The brake hydraulic control module on these vehicles has at least 12 valves. These components were prone to failure and are expensive to manufacture.
