Who here owns a Mini?

£100 is roughly 25% cheaper than the main dealer. There's no Mini warranty any more, but it does have a full Mini service history.

The specialist is TWG Automotive who only do BMW and Mini.

Personally I'd have no issue in using them - even if it does show up on the service history, the next owner can google them and see they are a bmw/mini specialist.

Yep, F56. It doesn't look hard, just time consuming and needing to register it. Thanks for the heads up about Carista. I was looking at Bimmerlink.

Last time I changed a battery (on my Corrado) it was about £60 for the battery and around 5 mins to swap it.

I did the battery on my F54 back in November. Easy enough but a little tedious.

It is ridiculous though, what even is the point of that cover, noise emmisions? I took one look at mine when I got the car and thought 'nope'

Abso-bloody-lutely. I spent 30 years renovating and building motorbikes as a hobby, I try not to get my hands dirty these days.

Haha. I don't blame you in the slightest
