2007 mini cooper diesel 140000 miles.
Fuel particulate additive light came on and was running a bit rough so last week had it in for a service and the additive bag changed. Its a bmw dealer only part so we’ve paid £140 for one special order no returns and it was booked in for fitting thursday. Was advised its also got a leaky damper and the handbrake bit of a rear caliper is sticky.
Told them just to do the bag and we would think about throwing more money at it come mot time.
Anyway she rings me on the way home from work, its made a thud at the back end then the dash has lit up all the lights. Brakes, abs, and some other one.
Its either snapped a spring or the bottom cups gone, the spring is sat on a suspension arm , has pulled the abs sensor wire off and looks like its crushing the brake flexi
So its time to get rid.
Cant see us getting anything in its current state on a part ex, whats the best way to get shut ? Ebay on an auction or is it scrapper time ? Seems a shame as it’ll fix up for someone but its got to that time fir us where its one thing after the other with it now
