    Thanks for the Info…Thinking now I’ll say at the garage that way they might remember my requests. Still fancy a go in an S.

    Why these garages do not have a proper detailer as apposed to a valeter, who lets face it could be anyone with a bucket of water……..The Clubmans on the lot were shocking.


    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!

    Welcome to NMS Claire

    another Black Eye Purple motor..

    I have had pretty much the same kinda issues as you (bad paintwork, broken sunroof and a mechanical issue). The last two are what the car is going back into the dealership tomorrow for, along with a faulty boot release which failed this week and I had to call out MINI Emergency..

    Hope to see you on a run.

    Welcome

    I had a few teething problems when I picked mine up too (faulty rear light cluster, full coolant system failure, rubbish valet/paintwork). It's put a bit a dampener on the "new car" feeling, but stick with it. Once you get it all fixed....these cars are BRILLIANT FUN

    Do you think there i a common theme here is it possible that both your cars were targeted for their colour
