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

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.
