Could be any number of things.  All the above replies, worn rockers and or shaft, Idler Gear bearings worn or collapsed, exhaust mounting broken causing the exhaust to vibrate against some bodywork. |

I'd check the top engine stabiliser bushes first and the exhaust down pipe to make sure the bracket is still secured to the gearbox: - Naughty: -  Nice: -  Make sure you secure your Mini safely on axle stands too whilst working underneath it. |
