Yes mine did the same and got sorted just check your battery's well as it fills up with water if your boot has been leaking if there is water check the grommets where the belt line attach to the car

Had my tailgate replaced 4 years ago. They (JCs) tried to blame my numberplate for pushing grit into the paint, idiots

I didn't think this would apply to anyone other than the original owner of the Car ?

We had the same issue on our 2004 R50 and paid to get it fixed at a local bodywork shop, didn't think about approaching Mini :-(
