| Capsaisin, you are a GENIUS!!!
When I took my mini convertible for its 30k mile service to Stratstone Derby, I mentioned a gearbox noise at idle which disappears when you press the clutch. I got no response whatsoever, and now following your link, it seems it is a known fault and the dealer should replace the clutch if a customer complains!
Suffice to say, I will be making a visit tomorrow morning and complaining...
Thanks again! |
