    Are you getting a courtesy car:question: and are you still going on Sunday
    Was offered a car (good on Henry Bros) but it would'nt have been available until 6pm tonight & i did'ny have my licence to sort out the insurance. The car also needed to be back for 8am on Monday morning so not really worth all the hassle.

    Sunday now cancelled cuddles , sorry about the knockback

    Well peeps it turns out that it is the steering rack & I,m not getting me car back till Monday evening. Car is apparently to dangerous to drive.

    I thought MINI had solved this problem but seems that 04 cars are affected as well.

    jeez that not good but at least your getting it sorted and that's the main thing.:)

    henry bros have never even so much as offered me a courtesy car when I've had the cars in with them...not even when they had the coop in fer a week tryin to find a leak in the roof then put a dent and scrape on it just b4 I arrived to pick it up. They've also damaged some plastic trim and put it back on the car before...but I suppose thats just the bodyshop. The rest of the service dept in there are normally great. IMHO their bodyshop lets them down, just cos i dont drive an M3 or something doesnt mean the can take the p***, at the end of the day I pay the same rates as i would if i actually did. Maybe it's because I'm only 21 I sometimes get taken for a mug in there...any other young guns with similar experiences? Dunno where that rant came from but I feel better now!
