Hi Folks,

Been a lurking for a while thought i'd introduce myself.

I live in Glenrothes work in Stirling and have a PW&Black 08 plate Cooper D with Chilli Pack, White lenses, black bonnet stripes and Flame Spokes. Had it since end of May and now over 10k miles in it:eek:

Recognise a couple of names from Mini2. Think i vaguely know Craig (im a Dunipace man originally:yes nod:) and see a girl member on heres cracking red Mini on the Menstrie to Alva road quite a lot.

Anyway. Mines is coming up to first service. Anyone got experiences of Menzies in Stirling or Pheniox Kirkcaldy for service work?

Cheers
BS

Welcome to NMSland :cool: , no need to lurk about just get yerself in ere :thumbs up:

With it being your first service and assuming there is nowt wrong with your car then I would proceed to the dealer closest to yourself. As long as you get it dealer stamped then 'hey ho' all is well.

If however you had a warranty issue then I'll let some of the the others advise :rolleyes: as to where to go.

:welcome: BS.

Not used Phoenix Kirkcaldy. Wouldn't recommend Menzies, for reasons best kept off the forums.:frown:

We used JC's in Dundee (Site sponsor;)) to fit our JCW tuning kit to the R53 MINI. Excellent service. Highly recommended based on that experience.

Hey BigStuff. :welcome:

Will keep an eye out for you as I work in Stirling prob just across the road from you.. ;) Stay in Denny now, but maw and paw are still in Dunipace. :yes nod::yes nod: That Red and white MINI is Mary Jo... cracking car. :thumbs up:

can't say I remember you, but then again my memory isn't the best.

As for servicing.... Well, like AndyP, I am pleading the 5th re Menzies... :thud::Whistle:

As for Pheonix in Kirkcaldy, If you ask MINI William or Badwolf (His Mum and Dad), they use Pheonix for all their cars and I don't think they have a bad word to say about them..

Maybe see you about Stirling :thumbs up:

Tis yourself. I've tended to be using the other road recently (can go faster) but if i pass you i'll wave. Nice car btw:clap:

I'll post some pics if i ever manage to get it clean(ish) again. Hose was frozen last weekend :argh: so it's pepper dirty grey at the mo.

Cheers for the welcome folks.
