I'll be helping Liam with this tonight can anyone confirm that the process is the same as it is on the manual?

It's totally different the auto selector is a cable that runs round to above the oil drain plug.

Ah yes, think i've seen that round the front of the box, might be easier than the manual then or is that wishful thinking?

Are you sure it's the culprit? Could it be a driveshaft seal?

Some other mini guy has looked at it and said it's the gear selector seal but we will see tonight, cheers for your help so far
