hey man: how is my guru doing? Anyway my friend has a late model Mini(yes i know girls car). Her shop whats to charge her $600 for a basic service. I know I can do it for less,so my question is what do you know about the mini? Any thing you know will help me. The good new is spring has sprung here in southeastern North Carolina


Don't know anything about the Mini other than what I see in the street. The first thing you need to know is EXACTLY what's included in the "basic service" at the current mileage, including suggested or required spares.

Now, if you's asked about the original Mini, like, how to get into the back seat without opening the doors or impaling yourself on the gear stick, that's another matter . Or how to change the clutch without taking the engine out.

Or how to keep twin 1.5" SU carbs in sync ... that's a trick question: it can't be done.
