Default Wheeler Dealer's episode on 40th anniversary Mini Cooper S

Most recent US episode. Pretty cool details on 100K major maintenance.

On a Mini, I'm guessing that the 100K major maintenance is a complete engine replacement?

I just got done watching that episode, great episode, love how straight forward, albeit tedious, the work is on those cars. I find alot of euro cars are like that, tedious but very straightforward to work on, vs domestics and even Japanese cars where you break this clip, have to wiggle it just so to remove this or that.

I enjoy every episode of this show. It's not all drama and outrageous builds. It is a good mechanic who does what he can and hires out what he can't. They just do what needs to be done to return a car to its former glory so someone else can enjoy it.
I liked Edd China but I also like Ant a lot. This is all stuff you get the feeling you could tackle if you had the right tools ... well ok, some of it.

I can tell you that I would never let Mike Brewer drive a car I had for sale. He is very disrespectful of a vehicle he doesn't even own yet.
