Having to put my mini into bmw to keep its service history up and its costing me £150 just to change the oil and brake fluid..daylight robbery

total rip off,main dealers charge between £65 and £100 an hour labour,if your car is over 5 years old take it to a specialist it will be cheaper

Its got a small water leak and they wanted a fortune to repair it,something like £170 were me m8 can fix it for about £40..

why a main dealer?

if its for warranty,aslong as it goes to a vat reg garage,and they use genuine parts there aint a problem

is the water leak the water pump itself by any chance?

the only time you may have to take her back to a specific garage is when shes on finance if you own the car then Lees smack on

Its only going back to the main dealer for the service stamp. I think its leaking from the temperature housing on the right of the block as u look at it, they say its a common problem and its only a gasket but u need a ramp to get at it as there is no room.
But it needs pressure testing to make sure that's where its coming from..
