Stock Problems/IssuesDiscussions related to warranty related issues and repairs, or other problems with the OEM parts and software for MINI Clubman (R55), Cooper and Cooper S(R56), and Cabrio (R57).
I replaced my Mini's (R56 2012 S) fuel filter and was having a really hard time rotating the top of the canister before removing it. When I went to get more leverage with the screwdriver I was using I put it in the hole where the gas line typically goes, pulling it out 2 seals and 2 plastic pieces came with it.
Looking around online you can buy the full housing for $250 (no "top only" listings), but I haven't been able to find any diagram of how those seals fit in. Does anyone have experience with this or ready access to one to take a picture? Could just be an expensive lesson but I have to at least see if it's fixable!
