    My Cooper in at JCs today with a few issues:

    1. Driver seat belt very wet (a leak somewhere me thinks!!...)
    2. Auto air con toggle sticking (again as it was replaced Feb 08)
    3. Plastic trim came away on inside of boot (where the hand pulls are)

    Hope it can be sorted...

    Anybody else had any of these issues on a R56??

    Hmm, not on an R56, my very first Cooper had that problem though, turned out it was the door seal, hope it's the same easy fix for you

    I had the sticking air con controls on my auto air-con on my first R56 S. They had to replace the whole control unit. That seemed to fix it...

    not sure if they did that before hand...

    Fingers crossed JC's get it all sorted for you...

    Car back...

    JC adjusted seals on door and window, the big test will be when the heavens open again...

    Trim fixed securely now

    Air con needs new fascia (on order)...so that will be my second, hope it's OK this time around!

    Or you could run a hose over it. On second thoughts probably quicker/easier to wait for the next downpour, should be one along any minute now
