I have had my mini now for a good year this july,
Everything with it has been good (touch wood) except my power steering pump failing after 2 hours of picking the car up
.
My mini is now on 28k miles (collected on 16k).
For the past 6 months say, when my car has gone in for warranty work (slight fault, window squeel etc) I have always raised the issue that the gears when selecting seem a little clunky, and rough when select the desired gear, also have told them that when pulling off from standstill, sometimes it would feel like the car is going to stall, or sometimes it will kangeroo
.
It just feels like the clutch is not all the way down, and you try and select a gear (even tho it is to the floor) and majority of the time I keep my foot on the clutch for like 3 seconds before selecting a gear and this seems to help a little.
I know I am hitting my biting point
, and givin it the right revs.
I have been out on 2 road tests with the techie at BMW and they have said they cannot find a fault.
But it is something that I feel is a problem? or is this normal?
Its not a major problem, I can drive fine, it just feels like something is not quite right. And with my warranty ending in the next month, I wanna get it sorted?
If BMW deny they is a fault, and within 2 months after warranty expires, and say it totally goes, am I within my right to tell them I told them within my warranty? and get them to fix it?
Just kinda worried, as they might just be saying it not to cough up, as a while back they did charge me to put air in my tyres
Any views?
