Mini coopers aren’t a cheap beater. You said cheap and I think 2000.00 or less to be cheap. There are a lot of good cars out there. Civics,Corollas,and my current ride a 96 Saturn. It burns a quart of oil every 600 miles. Oil is cheap and so are Saturns, especially the s series. They all burn oil and I use the used oil from my wifes Fit in it. Now thats recycling lol.

If I could only have one it would be a 6pt. 12pts have their places but they wear out quicker and don’t have near the holding power. You will strip bolts and nuts off with 12pts. You will twist the bolt into with a 6pt.

At 260k you could have low compression in one or more cylinders. I would do a compression test to rule out internal problems.

Being you put a new carrier in does not mean the pinion depth would stay the same. With it being a totally new part all your measurements will be off. I would not drive it or you will end up buying a new gear set also. This is one of those things you need experience to do. Pay someone to set it up, someone who does them all the time and they can save you some money becauese they will have a shim assortment already. Good luck
