Hi
I have just picked up an 02 plate mini cooper (for what I consider to be DIRT cheap), but it has the common gearbox problem - all works ok, just very loud - might be worth checking the oil tomorrow me thinks.
I was searching the net, and found that minigearboxes in Coventry (UK) will replace the box with a warranted recon unit for £490, inc labour, + VAT.
That seems very competitive to me - I've been stung in the past, so now operate on the principle that "if it is too good to be true, then it usually is!"
I was just wondering if anyone had used these guys? Any feedback welcome. I have had a quick search in this forum, but could not find any mention of them.
Just to state - I not saying the company is anything other than professional - I just wanted to see if anyone had used them and could let me know if they are as good as they seem - they have 100% feedback on ebay, which is a great start. I have to do my research, as it would be a long way for me to go, as I am not exactly local.
Many thanks in advance for any info.
Pete
