New to mini so please bear with me. I was told by my dealer that I need a new thermostat (something about electronic controlled, never heard of such a thing) that is setting off my engine light. and also that my water pump is leaking. I have a 2008 mini (standard model, not an S or convertible) when he quoted me 580 for the tstat and 844 for the WP I nearly fainted. I have the tools and knowledge, but having trouble finding the parts. Lots of listing only saying for "convertible. Mini gave me part #'s 11537534521 (tstat) and 11517550484 (WP) is this right? where can I buy them aftermarket? Also any tips on what I will be in for on the replacement?

thanks
