pics below has been my day , mini one 1.4 with 94000 miles on it failed mot emissions running very rich and misfire, never had timing chain before and is so far stretched it has destroyed the cat melted a big hole through middle also oil burning stem seals and piston rings, so today removed the gearbox and engine put new clutch in now engine sat back in car again tomorrow head off sump off piston out then strip the head remove all valves clean relap seats fit new stem seals and fit new timing chain as well and fitted new water pump while out,
new cat and 02 sensors £550 p[lus vat for genuine sensor's and good brand cat,, buyer beware of cheap cat's dont tend to do well, head and engine rebuild done a fixed price of £850,,
LUK 3 piece clutch kit £144 ,, i suspect it has issue with injector or coil pack maybe as cat is well destroyed that said might just be the timing chain retarded running for 40,000 miles will do same damage,
