Has anyone had any problems with the Mini Cooper Cabrio 2009 model clutch wearing down very quickly? I have been driving a manual from the word go since getting my licence and have now been driving a manual for at least 17 years.

My mini is still under warranty and my clutch has a problem with it, and it is like the front part of my mini is vibrating and the whole car shakes a bit from this. Also the clutch used to grab at the lower base of the clutch pedal, but now it doesn't grab until the top of releasing the clutch pedal.

BMW/Mini Garage are telling me it's wear and tear and they won't repair my clutch under warranty. I have done 33,000km in 2 years but 29,000 I have driven as it was a demo model sold to me with 4,500km on the clock already.

Anyone else experiencing this same problem I would love to hear back from you.
