Angry Hoe much!!!!

Just had the wife's 3.5yr old (40k miles) Mini One Convertible serviced and have been handed a quote for items that will need fixing within the next 12 months....

Replace brake fluid
Change coolant
Replace right engine mount
Replace rubber mounts of both control arms
Replace oil pan
Replace power steering intake pipe
Replace F&R brake pads
Replace F&R brake discs
Replace coolant thermostat
Replace radiator

Grand total is £1515.56

Some of these items I can live with but are any of the others known issues that I might be able to get under goodwill warranty?

Many thanks, Pete

Have you not got another brake fluid change on the TLC pack - I'd have thought that you would have.
Sorry, I don't think these are common problems so I guess you'll have to pay but I would still question why it needs a new thermostat & radiator at such a young age - same for the oil pan.
If you don't get any joy from the dealers then I agree with ALD0, independent all the way.
