Valve field problem?
Maybe you meant valve guide problem?
What year is your car?
If it's a turbo car chances are it's not a valve guide problem but just the normal direct injection carbon buildup problem, which the dealers charge between $400 and $800 to fix. Maybe take it to your MINI dealer and get a more accurate diagnosis?
