10,000 miles on the clock and .......

[SoggyCornFlakes]

..... still grinning from ear to ear

The fun of driving my MINI just doesn't go away

[Maquis]

Not that many miles yet but I feel the same (everytime I drive it)

Even if I am walking past it when it is parked I just have to look at it and grin

I hope the feeling never fades

When did you have your first service???

I checked this morning & I'm up to 6,150 miles.

Would you reccomend going in early for 1st service to get oil change, etc...
(I know this has been mentioned before but thought this seemed like a good oportunity to ask)

Cheers in advance for any advice...

4,500 for me & i've still not got out of the habit of turning round to look at it again as i walk away

1st service was about 8400 miles, I didn't go for an erly oil change but know some folks have done

10,000 miles thrashing about with Kylie would give any sane person a big grin on their face

[M0D]

OK I'll try not to pester as I know some of us are at work and might be busy (like me...sneaking in between peaks at MINI2 when I shoud have finished a brief by now)

On completetion of your service what exactly did you encounter with regards replacing anything on your Mini or what did your service cost?

I only ask because if I take mine in soon I don't want to be shocked with a bill that I didn't expect.

What do you get for your £100 5years service package?

[SoggyCornFlakes]

I had no additional costs, it was covered by the TLC. I was concerned I might have brake pads worn but they were ok. 1st service is basically just an oil change and check up

[HarryHBMCC]

14000 miles and still grinning. Had a few problems to fix lately but the car is so much fun that those things can be forgiven. Still turn to look at it as I walk away and still look at it longingly from the window at work, waiting for the drive home...

9,000 coming up today, service is being done, and Ill let you know how much it cost, cos I have no TLC....not available here.......

[OllyBlox]

14000 miles, and the car says it wants another 6000 until it's first service.
I must drive like an angel!!!

[Mike Clarke]

Clocked up 32,000 kilometres on 13th April, 54 weeks of driving pleasure. Yes, I still turn and look as I walk away, I still grin when I see it or any other MINI.
I am still besotted by this car.

Late on the breaks, hard into corners....
hmm??? My concern also...

I guess all Mini drivers are the same.

I have the TLC too so that's good news to hear, thanks!

[Palindrake]

now had over 20k miles in two mini ones.

i get a bit miffed when i see nicer minis around but still crackin to see it first thing in the morn.

I'm young still - i got time to save up for nicer things.

Lordy.

That sounds more like a fault to me

I would contact your dealer as I would not want to go 20000 miles before the first oil change.

I had my first service at 9000 miles.
