Hi,
I'm also having a clutch/flywheel issue with my new cooper s when the engine is cold. They said they need to replace the flywheel for one which will lower performance and economy or I live with it! Not the answer I was looking for.

I'm only seeing the idle issue your seeing and I have been told the same from my dealer (Stevenage) about the PUMA statement (whats a PUMA statement?). I was told my a mechanic friend that the issue may resolve itself as the clutch wears in.

Sorry no advice on what to do as I'm in the same boat as you. I think it's wait and enjoy until they get a fix for it.
