I cannot fault the service I received. From making an enquiry via their web site to purchasing the items over the phone, even got some discount! The items arrived the next day and will be fitted at the weekend. Will definitely be my first choice for anything I need in the future.

I ordered a replacement radio on bank holiday Monday and it was delivered in very good protective packaging and I’d fitted it in good working order by Wednesday afternoon, eBay transactions don’t get any better than that. Thanks very much. Highly recommended seller👍😁

Absolutely brilliant service from these guys. Had some older Mini Cooper window sills in stock, that were proving hard to source elsewhere, and managed to securely ship them safely all the way down to Kent for a very reasonable price. Will definitely use again- thank you!

Great service all round, quick efficient & flexible. I ordered a part then realised I'd ordered the O/S rather than N/S, contacted LA Mini and they swapped the item before shipping with no problems and no charge. Can't fault that sort of good old fashioned customer service. Highly recommended

Hands down the best place for all your Mini parts!

Loads of hard to find bits and super quick shipping. Everything from engine, body and interior parts, to those emergency situations when you strip a hard to find bolt 🤣

I got a full Sidewalk interior for my r53 which was amazing quality and really well protected when shipped. Loads of hard to find interior bits, as well as quite a few random bolts that I just couldn’t track down anywhere else. They have saved me from more than a few sticky situations!!

LA Mini Spares are my no.1 go to when I’m looking for parts, as they always seem to have what you need, and more importantly the quality has always been great and they ship super quickly. Would 100% recommend!!

Frequently Asked Questions – N12 Engine

  • Prior to Removal of the N12 Engine

    Before removal from the donor vehicle, MINI N12 engines are assessed using professional diagnostic equipment.

    We carry out detailed inspections to detect potential concerns such as timing-related irregularities, sensor faults, and general performance issues.

    Where possible, engines are operated until normal working temperature is reached and closely monitored by trained technicians to confirm suitability for removal.

  • Removal of the N12 Engine

    Once the engine has successfully passed testing procedures, it is professionally removed by experienced staff members.

    During removal, important components are visually inspected for signs of wear or deterioration. Cooling system connections and sealing surfaces are also evaluated to help maintain long term reliability.

    As MINI specialists, we understand the importance of thorough inspection to ensure dependable performance after installation.

  • Fitment Within Our Workshop

    We can supply and install your MINI N12 engine at the Quarry Motors Servicing and Repair Centre.

    When installation is carried out by qualified technicians, customers can be confident that all work is completed to a high professional standard.

    Providing supply and fitment at a single specialist facility offers a straightforward and reliable repair solution.

  • Fitment Outside of Our Workshop

    We recognise that visiting our workshop is not always convenient.

    For this reason, we offer fast delivery throughout the UK. Engines are drained of fluids, securely mounted to a pallet, and transported safely to your chosen repair garage.

    We recommend installation by a qualified automotive technician.

  • After Sales Service

    All N12 engines are supplied with a complimentary warranty.

    Due to our careful inspection and testing procedures, we are confident in the quality of the engines we provide. However, should any concern arise, we are happy to liaise directly with your mechanic.

  • How Are Your N12 Engines Supplied?

    Our engines are typically supplied as short or bare units without ancillary components.

    Items such as intake systems, injectors, sensors, and manifolds may differ depending on vehicle specification. It is generally recommended that these parts are transferred from the original engine to ensure correct compatibility.

    Additional components can be supplied separately at competitive prices if needed.

  • N12 Engine Warranty and Terms

    Engines must be manually rotated prior to installation to confirm that internal components move freely.

    Warranty cover begins from the date delivery is accepted and applies to the engine unit only. Labour costs are not included.

    If any issue is found to result from incorrect installation by an external garage, inspection and rectification charges may apply.
    Full warranty terms are available upon request.
