Car Forum / MINI / May 2004Where to get my Mini fixed? (UK)
My '98 Cooper Sport has an oil leak from the crankshaft oil seal. I've been ignoring it, because it's only slight, but my wife is determined to have the drive block-paved, and insists that she doesn't want a slightly incontinent Mini blobbing on it... I intended to fix it myself this summer, but because of illness I'm not now going to be able to do it, so I've got to find somewhere I can trust to fix it for me. I've already ruled out two local Rover dealers - they are both utterly useless, and one said they weren't interested in doing it. Can anyone recommend anywhere I can take it, that can be trusted to do the job properly? I'm in south-east Lincolnshire, but I don't mind driving a distance to get it fixed, if I can be confident that I will get a good job done.

You could spend a lot of money and wish you were back with only slightly incontinent. Instead, buy (or steal from old greetin' face's kitchen) a nice Teflon baking tray, and place it where your beloved dribbles. (No, not her, the mini). Try not to squash it (the tray, not her) while parking and unparking . Lock. > My '98 Cooper Sport has an oil leak from the crankshaft oil seal.

This job should take a mechanic with the right tools, no more than 30 minuts, have a go yourself ,, even if it takes 1/2 a day,, Fitzy |
