Have to say I agree with some views here. Left my mini recently with Nottingham as it had been losing coolant and was virtually empty when I checked after driving to work (had been dropping slowly for a while. Don't usually take it there as it is not the dealer I purchased from and only left it with them as I work in Nottingham and didn't want to risk driving it back and have it overheating.
Anyway left it with them and they were very nice and said they would look at it when they had time. Got the call to pick it up, collected it and it was all nicely vacuumed out and washed, and they replaced the thermostat housing under warranty. However, got it back home and the coolant had emptied completely again with steam coming out of the radiator. So had to ring mini emergency to sort it and turns out that Sytners had made a rookie error with the bleed screw. They had left it completely open so all the coolant escaped as steam through here, and with having an 80 odd mile trip to work and back that's why it had all gone. I was a bit peeved with Nottingham to say the least as this is a simple thing to check and it could have had more dire consequences. Thumbs down for Sytner from me, and it's a shame considering I have only been once
