Hey folks I have an R56 Mini Cooper s the car was my dream car and I loved it so much, unfortunately it developed the cold start death rattle and after several trips to the garage (where no fault could be found) my beloved MINI finally stopped ;(
I had it assessed by a mechanic who informed me the timing chain had jumped and my MINI would require a new engine to be back to his former glory, he didn't think it was worth the expense but couldn't give me exact figures.
Now I'm wondering several things, is this repairable? And if so at what expense? Also is it worth repairing or should I just accept its fate?
Thanks in advance,
Andy
