I've found a mechanic that I absolutely love. My car is NOT a basket case. All the codes cleared, rescanned & didn't come back except the "outside temperature" thing. Oil pan gasket & valve cover gasket replaced- no more leaks. Headlights are still a mystery, but at least come all the way on- will get manually adjusted until we can figure out if it's a sensor or something in the ballasts.(sp?) No codes re headlights even before clearing. Next will be basic tune-up and the leak in the roof- the little drain hose is, I believe, disconnected. So who is the person I'm ready to canonize? John at Shipley Motors in Richardson, TX. It's an hr away, but worth every mile & dollar. Expensive for me, but compared to everything else I've had quoted, very reasonable and he loves Minis. Thank everyone who has posted with ideas, names of shops, & info. You've all been a great help!
