Gorgeous pair of purples in for various bits and bobs. One for a service, new alternator and new exhaust manifold. The second for a major oil leak found and repaired along with some other bits I found along the way. Also please stop using these MTC Intercoolers! There useless always cause boost leaks and do a worse job than OEM.

Enjoy the rest of your week everyone and if you have any enquiries for your Minis feel free to pop us a message.

So another Checkmate to sail through the workshop. Sadly this one had been messed around with by someone not so knowledgable. After having a timing chain done only 6 months ago and all the rails being broken up already. I also found that the two 10m bolts for the timing chain rails were being used to hold the cylinder head down and the 13m bolts were being used for the rails. It seems they also had a thing for using silicone it was used everywhere and in huge quantity’s. I also found lots of silicone sealer in the oil pickup. So another new chain kit and a big clean up process later she’s back and happy with the new owner.

Feel free to give us a message for any help needed on your beloved Mini.

Well what an awful post to be writing. It’s very unfortunate that a massive part of the Mini community has been lost. R.I.P Nigel Night. I still have your exhaust manifold for your BRG, which I shall hang on my workshop wall in respect. Also to remember all the good times had, the help and advice you gave me. You will be missed by many.
