Not to worry - I did say it was a long shot!

Crikey flower you're not having much luck! I hope things get sorted and the incident gets reported and dealt with!

Are the dealership alright with you or are they being reluctant to help?

Thanks Phil, im a little annoyed with it all now Lol I remember coming to see you fitting the roof graphic, oh how things were so easy back then and the car was lovely

Yes, I seem to be aiming for a record of how many of the dealers cars I can drive
Since i've owned Puzzle, ive had a Cooper S Clubman, 2x Dooper Clubmans and now the Cooper Clubman.
Ive also driven their demo Cooper, Cooper S and Dooper (which I also borrowed), oh and I had another different Cooper as a courtesy car just before I got Puzzle

Maybe if it keeps going you could persuade them to, as "compensation" keep one of the GP's warm for a couple of days

Noo, all part of the cunning plan You see, if I make it undesirable, then the only person that will want it is me and they will have to sell it to me dirt cheap

Oh no! Did I just give that away

Yep....loads of slobber all over it will make it undesirable. What you need to do is get inside because that would really make a mess!

AND....i know that you love that little dooper of yours (when it works properly!) and you would never swop it for a slobbered on MINI with a clothes rail in the back!!

I kind of know how you feel - After 4 months of Fiesta ownership, its been back to Enfield no less than 7 times for the same problem - and they cannot find a cure!! Got to go back this week again Its cost me so much £ in petrol, I begin to wonder why I bother

However, on the right road, at the right time, its a great car Love it to bits

Just when its broken, I look towards the nearest trees and think the car would look better wrapped around them

I don't know if this will cheer you up, but a pal of mine with an 18 month old MCS is awaiting the installation of his 3rd engine . Original had problems so bad hat BMW agreed to replace engine. Then the new engine was not installed correctly and now needs replacing - again! He has had a courtesy car longer than his own car , and getting quite cheesed off. I haven't seen his car this year!!!!!!
