    We have a 07 R52 52000 miles, pulled it out for wash & to go for a weekend drive and had a wet spot on floor. From what I have read it must be the thermostat housing . Could anybody recommend a great shop in Columbus to do the work? Also recommend non-Mini parts, I have seen the ECS Tuning part. Are there any others? Will also replace the Coolant Tank at the same time. Thanks to all before hand for the help.

    These guys....http://www.bestmotorwerks.com/

    Also recommend non-Mini parts???

    Are you asking for another supplier besides the dealer? or a non-MINI manufacturer of the housing? You will only find OEM manufacturer for these parts...

    Yes, I was looking for a non-dealer, Ecs Tuning say they have a Aluminum Replacement Kit.
