    What did I do with my mini today?
    Just got it back from the shop after having to spend $7,400 to have a used engine installed after the freeze plugs blew allowing coolant into the engine. Mini's reply: It's not under warranty!!! First and last mini I'll ever own.

    I'm lucky I happened to be working on something else and noticed my wheel was soaked. Crashton was right, I dodged a serious bullet. She coulda blown up on the highway! A replacement engine woulda meant replacement car (or truck) for this cat.

    I just saw that this morning when I went to look up a part for my mother-in-law's Clubman. The shop that did the carbon blasting called this morning to tell me that after putting the car back together it was running ruff. They did a smoke test and found a cracked charge pipe. She is looking up the price of the pipe and going to call me back. I am not happy at this point! I am waiting to see what they say but that pipe was fine till they pulled it off for the blasting.

    Up date! They said 169 for the part! I can get it for about 30 less. They said they wont use a part I but! really pisses me off!!!! I know its just $30 and I am being cheep but still. I asked if they are charging labor she said they are not inclined to.........Damn right!!!

    Oh also asked them to look at the sun roof. They said it may be a pressure switch but they dont want to fool with it till it spring because of the temptress. That will be too late.

    This is why I do my own work!

    Rant over!

    That is the trouble with all cars now. The plastic carp doesn't last & crumbles once touched. Planned obsolescence.

    Drove my Mini to work a couple of days this week. Just tucked it back in the garage where it will stay nice and warm.

    I HATE WINTER!!

    That's a big savings. I'd have gone the route too.

    Said fair well to our clubman. We had some good adventures with it. Nothing like an engine fire while driving to work...
