any [/b]USEFUL[b] post is highly appreciated. thanks

400k just to look at a Mini Cooper problem? Na wa o. I smell a rip off.

Mini is a BMW product and originally from British. So i would advise you to find a VERY COMPETENT BMW or JAGUAR Technician to check it out.

How about Cascharis? Dont know too much of them.

Also i will advise to to fully explain the problem here in the forum. Siena, or other in house experts might know whats the issue.

Good luck.

400k for consultancy? Thats outrageous!!!

That dude is obviously a scammer! What exactly is the problem? I could talk to my german friend who is a Mechanic about it.

This brain box issues car owners have in Naija isway too common because everything they(mechs) can't see is attributed to brain box. pull the DTC and post here.

Then disconnect your battery overnite to reset PCM.

By the way what is wrong with your mini when you start it?

If you are going to spend 400K you might as well spend it well. For 400K you can fly Siena down from london for a week to fix your Mini cooper and still have time for his own fun! (if he agrees not to charge you for labor) Maybe you should talk to Siena (He might do it as a publicity stunt ). There is nothing more british than a Mini Cooper and Siena will be able to help. Wish you luck.

thanks my people. my aunt bought it and sent the car to me and trust naija boy,
i no fit look gift horse say no .
i'll get the codes and also try coscharis if i have to.
midas baba, i no sure say i fit pay siena bill at the end of the day but if he's up to returning to naija i'll buy him a beer for his advice.
siena, whats your drink?
thanks guys.

^^^ If you wanted me to come down, I certainly would - I've done similar trips within Europe, why not Nigeria?
Obviously, I'll need as much detail as you can furnish me with.

Will be epic.

What exactly is wrong with you Mini -

It doesn't run? Or it runs badly?

Hey, Talk to CY 08023127467 (Redline Autos, Opebi) or Seyi ( 08023127467 Speedlane). For CY, you would need to go to his Auto Shop. Seyi does house calls or the shop. Goodluck!

What year is your Mini by the way?
