One of Our members francis is looking for an Oil Filter Bowl and posted a link to Japanese Mini Specialist "Turtle Trading"

They sell a beefed Up version but at around £100 GBP

If your handy with the Spanners you can get a Reconditioned Exchange Transmission Unit for around £500-600 GBP and one Supplied and Fitted for around £800-£1000

Thank Yourself we don't have to pay the price that our Japanese Friends pay

Thats Translates to Around £1800 GBP


and i think thats just supply exchange unit

Even Mini sport and Mini Spares sell Complete engine and auto gearbox Units New Old Stock here in the UK for around £1900 GBP

All in all Auto transmissions can be expensive to rebuild or replace but compared with Japan we Have things Easy

We can't even get most parts for autos over in Australia. The only item i have been able to easily track down is replacement oil filter cartridges! I had to get my forward clutch kit from Jpat as no one over here stocks anything like that! I totally want to move to the UK.

Many times I feel the same way. It's even worse for me if I start looking on ebay.co.uk
Can't believe my eyes. Pages and pages for my ADO16.
And the cars.... oh the cars
Like trying to win gold at the olympics, a Canuck's dream. ;D ;D

Turtle Trading is a sister company to M-Machine of Darlington. Might be worth a try???
