Losing faith already - help

[nickw]

Hi, I have had my 03 MCS now for 3 days bought privately. Already things are starting to go wrong. First of all got it home and the passenger side exhaust bracket had snapped of due to corrosion, the passenger electric window doesnt work and now today got home from work and I couldnt get out of my Mini. The door simply would not open using the inside door handle, so I had to climb out of the passenger side. I tried the central locking and all worked fine, you can open the door from the outside no problems its just from the inside. Has anyone else suffered from this problem and what is the fix.

Any help would be appreciated, I dont want to take it to the garage yet after just 3 days.

Cheers
Nick

Don't lose faith yet Nick

You knew about 2 of those faults when you bought the car, and internal door handles coming lose is quite common and should be easily fixed

Hi Scrogg,
Yeah knew about the passenger window but I was nieve enough to believe the guy when he said BMW would fix it in the next service. Phoned them and of course they wont unless I give them large amounts of money. The exhaust bracket was discovered when I returned home from picking it up and now today I cant even get out of my mini. Is there a fix on here regarding the door handle, dont want to keep climbing out of the passenger side. I suppose I can get BMW Mini look at it on friday when its in for its 40000 service, the only problem they will probably charge an arm and a leg.
