Oh why do dealers come out with the most stupid reasons or excuses?:confused:

Around 3 weeks ago my daughter bought a 2006 MINI One Se7en.
After a week or so she felt the car wasn't right, there appeared to be a noise from the front nearside wheel and the car appeared to pull to the left, she took the car back and the dealer told her......"they all do that it's a safety feature"
lol So my car, a 2005 MINI One doesn't do it, does that mean that mine is faulty? What about all those cars in America? Do they pull to the right?
MINI Derby i'm sorry but i'm laughing at you now!

:biggrin: BTW, No the car isn't sorted but what the hell, it's going to be a real laugh over the next twelve months!:D

Ah well, onwards and upwards >>>>>>

A safety feature? Whos safety I wonder? That the car should be safely off the road in there workshop being repaired?
Is their garage on the left side of the road? :hmph:f

What a damn stupid thing to say, the car should track straight on a smooth flat road. Dont stand for such nonsense. At least insist they check the tracking
