Bit of an update!
The car went into Sytner yesterday, and I was given a 07' Mini Cooper as a courtesy car for the day.
Anyway, the car needs a brand new clutch, and Mini are footing the bill as the car shouldn't of been sold to me with a fault such as that. Brilliant news
Unfortunately it's an 8 hour job, so they've got it for the weekend, and I shall pick it up on Monday, plus I've been given the Cooper for the rest of the weekend for my inconvienience.
Just to show really that BMW/MINI really do look after their customers, which is why they've got such a good reputation for customer service.
I'll give it a go on Monday and report back with the results
