hey hey! just thought id have a moan. i got the mini on the road the last day of april all was good and i was amazed how fast the thing was, until the turbo started smoking fair enough i thought it was an unknown turbo after all. i sent it off to i.t.s turbos they qouted me £350 to reckondition it. doh i just havnt got that money to chuck on a car im goin be using once a week for a bit of fun. so i have a deal if anyone fancys it i have two metro turbo engines sat in my garage, to be fair theyve had the heads off and have got rusty in the bores. but im sure sumone will make good use off these for a rebuild or something? in return for a good turbo. p.m me, or ring or txt me on 07798625040. my car has to be at the british mini showdown some one please help!

Why don't you buy a rebuild kit of Iain and refurb it your self?

Ring ITS up again, tell them you only have £200 to spend and James Fawcett just had his mini one done for that price.

I asked them to do it for £200 and they said yes but they would use a reconditioned good condition propeller bit in the middle.

When i went to collect it, everything was brand new, they replaced everything brand new for me instead with 2 year guarentee because they werent happy giving me 2nd hand bits in the end.

I wasnt bothered even if it had 2nd hand bits because they are a good company and it would have still had full warrenty on it.


RING THEM!!! :)

yh i agree they are a first class company they collected the turbo free of charge, quoted me free of charge and even said theyll return it free of charge if i dont have the work carried out. ive spoke to them and there allready on the case of returning it to me, if it was any othere time id probably have the money to do so, but at the moment im lending some money off my old dears to have another day to day car. ( i wont tell u all, its a nova gsi because i know you all hate them. so ill keep it quiet) but if anyones intersted in the swap plz let me now
thanks
