rusty82 replied to 5tox's topic in OLD SKOOL FORD CHAT
before u send them off tell them you want all your money back with all the cost of the post you have spent out, if they dont do it you have customer rights and give trading standards a ring,my brother got a mini boot floor from them....it was a fkin joke....the metal was so thin,the pressing was cr@p...he got his money back and they couldnt kiss his a55 enough.....think he got nappy rash. -
i had a problem like that on the tincorner...it was doing my head in...after 2 months of p!ssing around trying to find the problem my bro found a tiny pin prick hole in the heater rad...when the car got over half way on the gauge it started leaking and the carpet soaked up the water, but there was never enough water to really soak the carpet and where it was getting wet was right under the dash......but it was enough to mess about with the cooling of the car and stress me right out.

i know its mad....i went on mini2.com the things that go wrong with them is unreal and the newer ones are just as bad and bmw never did any recalls on them cause they dont believe any of it is dangerous.but sometimes when the pump can go the steering has been known to lock......now if that aint dangerous i like to know what is? lets just say the kids aint going in it ever again.

6 yrs ago my wife needed a new car, i asked her what she wanted and she said the new mini....i asked why she want one of them for? get a osf like what i got.well that went down well and said why do i want a rusty old ford for? i will be fixing the bloody thing all the time they have loads of fault from factory,i said.......well she won! im much to much of a push over...so we got a 2002 cooper with all the kit on like the red one on the newer italian job film, in them six years nothing has gone wrong with rusty (mk5 crusader) except the axle but that was my fault, the mini has had new exhaust cause it fell off so we fitted a ss magnex,all new brakes,new rad, 2 window motors one each side,engine mounts,oil cooler,drivers seatbelt,central locking motors,and thursday the electric power steering pump went up the sh!t that i sorted today,at a cost of 380 nicker for the pump i told her i should charge labour fitting all this cr@p and she should of got a rusty old ford!..... well shes not talking to me now happy days
