Hi as the subject says if possible, cos i don't know enough about them i need some one to come take a look at my engine to tell me if it's fixable or if i need to change it? I live in narre warren so if any one is willing to come help me I'll get a 6 pack of beer for your trouble. I am being forced to put the mini on the road alot sooner than expected so I don't have alot of time unfortunately but please let me know  .
Thanks in advance and have a very merry christmas

So, what was wrong? Sounds relieving! |

yeah it was definately releiving, the general consensus was that it was either a head gasket or rings or something similar. turns out it was just as simple as a faulty spark plug. which i was very surprised cos they are new and the way the car was acting i would not have even thought to look for that. but goes to show how different to normal cars mini's can be . I'm just glad that it's not something serious. i know that im probably gonna cop some flack but it's worth it

better than pulling the donk out and apart then finding out the plug was stuffed 
glad it was an easy fix |

yeah that's what i figured. was gonna replace the head gasket and what not too but didnt want to do that and then find out it was stuffed and have wasted the money on gaskets etc

Good News! I know your pain not knowing a lot about Mini engines and learning as I go. Guess you will always check your plugs from now on as one of the first checks. |
