Is this a common problem? Is it best to go to BMW to get it fixed? What sort of pride can i expect to pay? | ||

But at the time the service chap said i was lucky as it would be an £800 job whereas i got away with paying £215 which was the price of the clutch itself. This was TICE mini in Dorchester and for a mini cooper s. | ||

I phoned Tice BMW just for a giggle to see how much it would be and he said £850 . Is it a common problem coz the guy at the local garage said he had done quite a few, but the guy at BMW said he aint done any. | ||

The pedal was so much lighter with the bite point being much lower was maybe it was on its was (had done about 51k miles). | ||
