    Hi every one

    Joined up to see what's what in the Mini world, never owned a Mini before, looking to see what the common faults are and which bits fail.
    I bought her from Calterdon who gave me a great price change for my DS3, Looking at John Clark for servicing as they are nearer than Calterdon Inverness.

    Any advice you can offer about the car servicing and ownership will be greatfully received.

    Regards Minime

    P.s Is worth £240 for multi functional Steering Wheel? and what will it do.

    Welcome to the site!

    Not another Minime :)

    Think the One’s and Coopers are not to bad for problems. Deals could be had I think with the New Mini F56 out later this year or early next.


    So what colour did you go for and spec????? I take it if your on about options its a split new car from the Factory?????
    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!

    but stay tuned for multiple MINI/mini me confusion!

    Multi-function wheel? Handy I suppose, but I've never had one, so I don't miss it! Possibly a plus point if and when you come to sell/trade in. Personally I'd spend the £240 on some nice graphics (from MiniDesigns of course!), or put it towards a good exhaust which will release a bit more 'character' from your MINI without killing your warranty or blowing your insurance.
