MINI Cooper S - ABS / DSC control unit
One of our company cars is an 07 plate MINI Cooper S with about 80,000 miles on the clock (mainly motorway).
A colleague recently had a couple of warning lights show (the ABS and something else) whilst driving although they went out after a while. The car is in the local MINI dealer for an MoT this week and we asked them to check the fault.
They are now saying the car needs a new ABS / DSC control unit. The part is about £1100 and the labour will be about £250, both plus VAT of course.
Is a replacement part our only option or can we get the control unit reconditioned or repaired somewhere?

Great performance from Cooper S, much smoother and more sophisticated than first generation, capable of travelling distances in comfort.
