The SA said MINI used to do some good will repairs. They no longer do this under any circumstances.
They charged me $54 for "diagnosis" as well. I just paid and left. I'm done with the dealership.

I just need to clarify something... if I'm going to just replace the tensioner I need part number 11-31-7-607-551, but if I were to replace everything (chain, guides, tensioner etc) it would be part number 11-31-7-597-895. Is this correct?

You may want to look at this thread if you want to see the full list of parts that my local Mini shop replaced when I took it in for the 'death rattle' service just a couple weeks ago...
