Would really appreciate some help on this one!!
Two problems with my car that I just can't afford to have a dealer fix right now unless it's a must, and have no idea on costs!!
1) my car went in for a battery change recently. I really didn't realise a battery change would cost over £200 but apparently as its a mini convertible 2009 with a stop/start engine, it required plugging into a computer and also an expensive battery type (I am adhering to the female stereotype of genuinely not having a clue and having to roll with that the mechanic said). They did that ok but since I've had it back, the plastic panel on the inside of my car that sits just above my head has a broken clip on the passenger side and is hanging down. Does anyone have any idea what this part is called?? It seems to be covering wires and electrics. Can I fix this myself and any idea on cost??
2) my boot has gone totally doolally. It opens and closes at random, but not when I actually ask it to by touching the sensor. It's absolutely full of water.
Very worried that both of these things are going to be expensive and I have to get rid of my little car??
Any help would be so appreciated right now, thank you!!
