I know I should post this on the mini forum or another forum but I'm lazy and I know there are several mini owners who hang out here. There's like one lonely guy on the BMW/Mini Pelican forum waiting for others to come play.....
My GF has a 2006 base mini. Leaking coolant a year + ago fixed with thermostat and gasket. Now leaking again and the repair is no longer under warranty
Google search says thermostat and gasket on 05/06 minis is a known issue.
Is it worth calling the dealer? Has the part been redesigned maybe? Are they a pain to change. Anyone else had this issue?
