Kansas City MINI Enthusiasts

Yea, that's the conclusion I have come to. There is a shop, autobahn motorwerks about a block away from me. I think I will have to just take it there. Have you heard of this shop?

It's a very popular issue. I have been looking at North American and other forums for a week. Tried basically everything that doesn't require taking the car apart. Wish I had a garage, then I would take it apart. It's the putting back together that's the problem lol

Thank you, will do. I'll post the outcome... If it doesn't make me cry. Only had the mini for 8 months and had to replace the clutch and flywheel. Really don't want to spend a bunch on something so stupid.

I will give that a shot, last ditch effort. Any cheap reliable shops in downtown kc that you would recommend?

I need help! Hood release has failed. The cable is slack AND the white cable 'stay' is exactly where is should be, see attached pic. Can anyone help me? I really want to open my hood!
