    Right! Ok..Ok... I'll join!!!!

    Actually I forgot to join on Sunday after the exciting MINI Run I was on with no MINI.

    Back to the tread though - Last update as of Fri 5pm ...
    I was driving to Glasgow this AM in the courtesy BMW316i, when what should I see but my MINI being loaded onto a truck for recovery back to John Clarks having broke down again!!! It seems that a staff member had taken it home to Perth for a final road test after its repair???? before it was returned to me and was making his way to work when it gave up again. This time it went into "safe-mode" (15mph) for a short while then gave up altogether!
    (For the new folks... this is what it has been doing for the past 5 weeks at John Clarks)
    Anyway after hearing more from the after-sales manager he decided enough is enough. A new car is the only answer. I agreed and told him I had no confidence in that car now and a replacement was the only answer for me.

    I should have final confirmation from Bracknell by Tues.

    I'll keep you posted

    Sorry to hear that your wee car seems to have finally expired Shoppie :( Good to hear that your dealer is going down the replacement route though, hope you don't have to wait too long for your new arrival and I look forward to seeing you back on the road again soon.
