Thanks but it failed :sad:
Needs new subframe for the rear, new brakes, and few other things.
I am without mini, its being repaired and I'll have it back Tuesday, with a severe hole in my wallet :nugget: .

the old subframe! They are a right pain, are you getting a new one fitted or a recon? I fitted a new one on mine about 10 years ago (just before it came off the road LOL). They aint too bad a price all things considered.

Probably best to start your own thread Doggy??
Personally I think the repair bill is quite expensive, but glad to see you'll be getting it back on the road!
