Problem on MCS - Labour costs correct?
Discussion
Hi All,
My 2002 MCS is undriveable at the moment, a BMW/MINI independent garage has diagnosed the problem. The pipe between the master cylinder and the slave cylinder (clutch) has rubbed against the gearbox and worn through. The part itself is about £25, they say, but it is a 3 hour job apparently, and with everything all in it will be £190. To replace the pipe, which I don't believe is inside the gearbox or anything?
It's just annoying as if the pipe had gone while I was at home then I could get it sorted by friends for just the price of the pipe. However I'm at university 300 miles away so don't have an option, but I wondered if anyone knew this kind of problem, or if any mechanics could let me know if 3 hours labour sounds about right?
Thanks,
Lucie
