Ok, so after reading the other thread I decided I’d give the guys at the Bavarian Motor Warehouse a go. It sounded like the other chap had a good experience, and I just have to say so did I.
I phoned up at lunch time and spoke to Ish, told him my problem (oil leak…sorry I’m not very technical) and he said I could bring it down and they would find the leak for me. I phoned back at 3pm to let them know I could drop it off that night so they could look at it the next day. Finished work a little early to make sure I got there before 5 but ended up getting there about 4.30.
The guys put the car straight on the ramps took about 30secs to diagnose a faulty oil filter seal ordered the parts right away, I decided might as well have a full oil and filter change while I was there. The lads cracked on with it and I was back on my way home by 5.30. Fantastic!
As it turns out I need a new breather pipe too, which they will fit for free once Mini gets the part. Winner!
Had a bit of a chat to some of the guys and as it turns out they all worked at BMW and MINI in Huddersfield before setting up, and were more than happy to chat about Minis and share some advice with me.
Anywhoo, to cut a long story short I was well impressed with they guys at the Bavarian Motor Warehouse I’d be happy to recommend them and I will definitely be using them again, but hopefully not too soon
