Servicing my MINI
Servicing my MINI
Long story short - i should have gotten a warranty.
i am having quite a bit of problems with my mini and seein if any of you have any advice or maybe even a cheaper alternative.
i spoke to Flow Mini and they estimated the major issues to be around $1400 to fix.
p/s fan went out and i didnt notice till it was too late. now i am getting a groaning noise everytime i turn the wheel. so i am pretty sure my p/s pump is gonna croak soon.
my low speep radiator fan does not function and i did not notice this till my a/c stopped blowing cold air.
dyanamic stability control does not function because of a bad steering angle sensor. also disables the tire pressure monitoring.
all in all they said that fixing the p/s fan should fix the low speed fan and hopefully the a/c.
but its like my mini has taken a huge electrical dump. her battery is drained if she isnt driven in a day and trying to find the parasitic load has been an epic fail. i dont mind getting her fixed but its only natural for me to not want to fork out so much money... any help? or ideas

Dan at Grassroots Garage.. is the place, many take their mini's. Just Ask BlueCooper... We are motoing up there this afternoon! 336.476.8551 www.grassrootsgarage.com
Call Dan at Grassroots and get an appointment. Sounds like it may take mor e than a day. Suggest you take note of that. Let him know what all FLOW told you and he can have the parts available and I can assure you it will not cost you a arm and a leg, maybe an arm!!! The alternative is $$$$$$$$$ and OBAMA ain't in your corner!
awesome guys. i called him and told him my situation and he is absolutely positive he can take care of my problems. once again thanks for the help. i havent made an appointment yet but here in the coming week ill have to take care of that.. speaking of the dragon and all. i wish i could go.
