A cautionary tale.

My 05 Cooper has now had 3 gearboxes, each box managing no more than 5 thousand miles before complete failure, and I have received *very* poor service from the local dealer.

I also have a Citroen Picasso, that has covered 85,000 miles, as the family hack. It has so far required 4 tyres, a new exhaust, and a brake light bulb.

Yep, those french cars are still crappy, tinny, things (unlike those well put together MINIs)

Not many people complain about the Getrag gearbox being French now do they?

Don't get me started on gearboxes
