Hi Everyone
My friend bought a beautiful 91 Mini Cooper recently. All went well until a broken engine mount caused a hydraulic pipe from the clutch to break. He took it to a local garage and the guy fixed the broken engine mount, the one in front of and closest to the driver, and the hydraulic pipe. He was able to drive the car for about 3 miles then it died. From then the car will start and sounds sweet until it reaches 90 degrees. Then it will die when you touch the accelerator. The guy in the garage has checked everything he can think would cause this problem IE fuel filters, pump, fuses, etc.
Can anyone advise????
I would really appreciate some guidance.
Steve
