not sure what the service indicator was reading but it was just over 1000 a few days ago.

my car is 4 on 3rd March, the person who owned it before me bought an extended warranty from mini

so its going for MOT on Monday so glad the TLC service fell into place at the same time

You coming on the ards peninsula run on sunday? Proper chance to stretch the legs of that jcw of yours.

what do you lot make fo that?

Wow, low mileage on a 4 year old!! Were the above all carried out under the extended warranty or was the brakes and coolant chargeable under wear and tear? I thought you didn't have to pay anything under warranty to get the suspension bushes fixed??

nylo · Feb 22nd, 2008, 12:29 PM

Yes Chelle, I've seen your car about. Think I posted on another site that I'd seen it. You ever round the Ards Peninsula, or round 6 road ends/Donaghadee? I think I may have spotted it in Bangor a couple of times too.

Welcome to m2 btw

Chellle · Feb 22nd, 2008, 12:30 PM

nylo - guy who owned car before me was from n-ards

pmp - i didnt know about an ards run - sounds like fun and ill have my wee bro on sunday so he would love that, whats the details?

Chellle · Feb 22nd, 2008, 12:31 PM

i have to pay for £100 re the suspension bushes and then the rest on top

everyone just pray i dont need new tyres for MOT on monday ha!

nylo · Feb 22nd, 2008, 12:32 PM

Yeah, thought it might have been the previous owner, think I spotted you're from Dromore direction?

Details of the run are probably in the Confirmed Events section, but in a nuteshell, I think it's meeting at the McDonalds carpark at N'Ards shopping centre at 11am

Chellle · Feb 22nd, 2008, 12:34 PM

yip i live in dromore

well if i can afford petrol after this service i shall certainly head up to ards

Chellle · Feb 22nd, 2008, 12:35 PM

a dozen cars - tiny little run?

i have never been on a run before - im shy!

nylo · Feb 22nd, 2008, 12:37 PM

A dozen cars isn't bad for a normal scoot, though for a big, organised one there'd be a good few more

Arent we all, lol!

They're all a friendly bunch, and at least half are newish members who ive never met, so you are not alone. Quite a selection of models too.

dozen is very good for Northern Ireland really, particularly in middle of february. Anymore and people start getting lost.

Chellle · Feb 22nd, 2008, 12:42 PM

male models? hahahha

Chellle · Feb 22nd, 2008, 12:45 PM

so do those prices seem ok?

PmP · Feb 22nd, 2008, 12:48 PM

Coolant is about right, around what i was told mine will cost, the brake pads could be done by any mechanic, and probably alot cheaper. Duno about the bushes tbh, but got me worrying about mine now, my car was 4 on feb 18th and its twice the mileage of yours. Why you getting bushes changed?

Chellle · Feb 22nd, 2008, 01:05 PM

cause the dude at prentices said they need done

and with mot on monday and the fact my warranty runs out soon i said to go ahead

Chellle · Feb 22nd, 2008, 01:15 PM

im clueless though
