I bought a Mini.....

Educational-Roof852@alien.topB to Mechanic Advice@gearhead.townEnglish · 10 months ago

Before you say “You shouldn’t have done that” Or “Dummy”, I really like the car, it’s different just like me. The car I speak of is a Mini Cooper S 2005, 120k showing. Everything works, windows, cruise, ect., great tires, run flats. The thing just stopped running at a gas station, just one hour after I signed the papers. The car is mine free and clear, but I have not seen that car since that night, a month+ ago now. The car lot I bought the Mini from, has had it in and out of its own shop and a “Mini” shop several times now. To get too the point…I will need and MUST learn how too work on the thing myself, when and IF I ever drive it again. If anyone has any real advice on the 05Mini Cooper S, please reply and I’ll look you up at a later date. Thanks and God Bless!!

Rules

This is a community for asking Mechanical questions pertaining to vehicles, engines, etc. If it’s got wheels, treads, floats, flies, or has an engine you’re good to go and we’ll do our best to help. Title, salvage, body work, paint work, etc questions also do not belong here. Memes, videos and other non-questions are not allowed.
No intentionally bad, harmful, or deceptive advice. If we feel a piece of advice is particularly reckless, dangerous, or extremely unhelpful it may be removed. Please report bad advice to the mods.
Keep discussion friendly, civil, courteous, and professional. We’re here to help so being rude won’t help. Don’t assume a shop is trying to “rip you off.” It’s okay to ask for a second opinion.
Only one vehicle/problem/incident per thread, and only post once. The only exception is for posting updates, provided it is properly marked as an [Update] or similar.
Body Work. Questions related to dings, dents, accidents, paint and so forth DO NOT belong here. Take the car to an auto body repair shop who can give you a qualified estimate.
