Hi all,

I'm a bit confused, and was hoping someone might be able to clear the haze for me...

I bought my 2003 MCS (40K miles) back in January, and it came with 1 remaining TLC slip. I haven't used this, as I've still got 2,800 miles ticking away until a visit to the garage is needed. When I do use this, I was going to take out the extended TLC pack, to cover it for another 3 years.

However, the other day I received a letter from MINI, advising that my MINI Warranty is about to expire, and would I like to extend it. Now, I was told by my dealer when I had a problem with the boot release electrics, that my car would no longer be covered under warranty, so it would be chargable - however, it looks as though I am still covered under warranty, until May 25th.

Could someone clarify what the TLC covers, and what the extended warranty covers, please?

I have the option to choose Comprehensive (£443), Named Component (£414) and Driveline (£326) warranty.

It was only last week that I had to renew my tax - another case of "everything comes at once!"

Cheers all!
