Can anyone tell me the correct position for the starter solenoid on a mk3 Cooper S?
Thanks

No sorry I don't,

its under the servo, if its a restoration the screw holes may be in your panel, it's possibly in the same position as a standard car I would think.

The one on my Inno 1300 Cooper (which is sort of a Mk3 S) has it on the clutch housing. You can see it in my build thread

But the Mk3 S is on the inner wing

I would think that the position will not be changed from the basic mini on the production lines as the cable runs would be identical

The mk3 S was just a mini with mechanical upgrades the trim was just standard unlike the Mk1 & Mk 2 S models.

Picture taken today car owned from new & that is where the factory fitted them the same as the 1000 & 850.
