MINI has been owned by German car-making giant BMW since 2000, but it was already making waves in the automotive world many years before. In 1961, the iconic Morris Minor became the first British car to have sold more than one million units. Then, in 2014, the original Mini was named Britain's favourite car of all time an astounding 55 years after its launch, beating the Jaguar E-Type and even the McLaren F1 supercar. Despite the confidence of Aurelio Lampredi - Fiat's chief designer - that the Mini would never be a true rival because it was "so damned ugly", the enduring popularity of the model and its manufacturer suggest otherwise. There are over 460 MINI clubs in the UK. This guide discusses how much you can expect to pay to service your MINI.

Turbochargers, usually called turbos, are designed to give your car extra power. They are only activated at certain speeds and work by forcing more air into the engine, increasing the strength of the combustion. You can read more about how turbochargers work, here.Common signs of turbo failure include a loss of power, difficulty maintaining high speeds, slower acceleration, grey/blue exhaust smoke, and a dashboard warning light.If your car shows any of the above symptoms, you may need to book a turbo repair. In some cases, a repair may not be possible, in which case a turbo replacement is required. Turbo reconditioning or turbo refurbishment is a restorative process that gives older turbos a new lease of life. If you need to replace your turbo, opting for a refurbished rather than a brand-new one is usually cheaper. Consult a turbo specialist for advice about the best option for your car.
