I purchased a 2007 Mini Cooper a year last December from a mini dealer - has been maintained well since purchase and is currently only done 55k miles. Last week it began cutting out and losing power. Was taken to a local garage - they reported a fault with the vanos unit and catalytic converter ( understandably the latter- which I have no issue with). Garage reported that it required a new solenoid sensor and complete change of both vanos units and full timing chain kit - giving me a bill of £1 k plus. They have told me today that a pulley from the water pump needs replacing. Having read here that other customers have had trouble with timing chain I'm wondering whether this is an issue I should take further with mini. I have contacted mini and they have asked for chassis number and number of dealership dealing with enquiry. The problem is that the car was taken to a local garage for diagnostics- wondering if I have a leg to stand on?? I am also unsure whether the garage are also taking advantage of me as a customer as my knowledge of cars is limited.
