Tips and advice for servicing and maintenance of your Car. Firstly, whether you have no knowledge about your car or the technical jargon, the important point to ensure you are treated fairly is never accept what a dealer of garage says to fix you car, on face value, always ask them to explain why it needs changing or ask to visually see it, e.g changing brake pads wear is visible as with many parts, no reason they can't take a picture and send takes two seconds, more importantly always ask them to put your old parts in boot so you can validate the parts were changed. Remember most cars tell you when they need servicing but changing your engine oil every 9,000 miles will not only maintain the moving parts of your engine but increase the life span of most moving parts. This will save you £££ of repairs and breakdowns in future, if you want more tips please comment.

Our Mini One D has had serious engine mechanical failure due to timing chain breaking, on inspection the decision to have the engine completely dismantled and have it remanufactured is the best step forward to making this car like new. She’s worth it. Engine out exciting moment to recon she will soon be purring and will be a perfect buy when ready. A free 12 months warranty will be offered on sale.
Current update engine block will need renewing with crankshaft and con rods, new oil pump so complete upgrade to finish this one. Will post pictures of progress soon.
