    I've had my 2003 Cooper CVT fluid flushed twice over the past 6 years at a non-MINI shop that had an ex-MINI tech working there.. Cost was about the same as your quote.

    Take a look in the library. There is a "how to" on changing the fluid in a 6 speed that may give you some pointers.

    Thanks for the replies, I'll check some local shops and get some quotes, I was mainly worried about whether or not the CVT was similar to other transmissions or if i need to go to someone who has experience.

    Thanks time for a :beer
