| Mini One D - Cylinder problem-no acceleration
Hi there,
Got a little problem with my Mini One D. It's having it's diagnostic's done right now, but was hoping someone could tell me what kind of cost I'm looking at and also if it has anything to do with my head gasket not being fixed properly?
Basically this morning, I was driving to work and my car lost almost all its acceleration. I couldn't go above 45mph. It took 5 seconds to go from 35 to 36mph and 14 seconds to go from 36 to 37mph.
When I switched it off and back on, it took about 20 seconds to start/get going.
So I called the AA and the guy looked at my engine. He was there was something wrong with one of my cylinders. I can't remember the phrase he used, but he said *something* fire. (I can't remember what the something was. I asked him to explain, and he said somewhere along the line the fuel injector might not be working prop. But the cylinder seemed to be the prob.
Can anyone advise how much this might cost to fix? i'm so skint!
Also, a little background info, my head gasket went about 4 weeks ago. Had it repaired at a local garage, not bmw. When i got my car back, i did think it was a little slower, but i thought this was due to me having a mazada 3 sport for nearly a week and driving a fast peugot also! I thought it was just because i was used to the fast petrols.
so im suspecting the problem stems from this. maybe something not being screwed on prop.
Any help guys? Would be much appreciated.
Many thanks,
