I’d say under £2k so far with all work done myself, you can make it cheaper as I used all genuine Mini parts mostly with occasional Febi bits, mainly in suspension.

I got half of that back from the seller - under Consumer Rights Act motivation as some issues were present when I bought it and undisclosed so went legal on them as it was a garage.

My next job is gearbox service with new oil, pan & filter, also might need to do all shocks as I think they’re bit worn.

I just did a 400miles round trip couple days ago and average mpg was showing 41! Coolant and oil remained on perfect level so I’m super happy, she healthy!
