    it was mainly due to the fact it smelt like sour milk had been sprayed all over the interior!

    From Factory JCW to Audi TT Quattro - Might be back one day!

    Car booked in for both the brake fluid service and the first service. It was actually the brake service that was flagging up on the dash with the date. Got them to add to the work sheet and the guy did it in upper caps “Do not wash or Valet” love the way they get all the info from the key fob...............

    They wanted £15 for a loan car, but taking a Clubman S out for a try on a test drive then I'll sit it out till its ready.
    Mini as it was. As it is. As it always will be. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, it's up to you to decide if it counts!

    Hope you like the S. I think once you get a feel for it you'll be upgrading in no time.

    I would imagine there is a big difference from the works, I hope it all gets fixed…….. Just going to print a few “ Do Not Wash Or Valet”

    oh oh bad choice, I did somthing similar and had to buy it. There may be less of a difference between an R56 coop and an R50 coop so it might not feel massively different for you, but it is fast. Hope you enjoy.

    Took mine to Menzies Stirling last week for its service. Loan car cost £10.00, but I was told I wasn't allowed to drive it because I'm under 25

    When we (me and mum) arrived to pick up the loan car, there was a bit of a mix up over it. After hanging about for about 20 mins waiting on them sorting something out, we ended up with a 320d Se (Coupe).

    Car was bought from Menzies and if I thought they would say bring your car in and we will give you an S to try for a few hours while we service yours, I'd have taken it the 30 miles.......but Fairbairns is five minutes away.

    So they will sell you a car but they wont let you drive the courtesy car, even although you were paying the £10 for insurance. Thats rediculous. Last time I would be taking my car to that dealer then.
