oops, posted twice, d'oh!

Hi all! New to the forum and its annoying that my first post is a querie about a problem!!

Got a mini cooper, 55 plate, bought from new, been having a semi-recurring problem with the steering, and its annoying as its sporadic, but the steering feels so light at times when turning (and sometimes during general driving) that it feels like there is no feedback from the wheels/steering and kinda gives the impression of not being in control of the car!

Not good! Been in past the garage and they found nothing, is this a known fault or has anyone any ideas??

Some days its fine and others it feels like I'm driving something that should have cost me £500 from a dodgy dealer! My first car (H plate Astra!) cornered better at times!!! Not what I had expected from the mini, mind you only one I have driven so no frame of reference....
