Few questions.. If you bought in March did you buy in garage, if so they should do it under warranty! Where are you in the country, might be worth a trip down to Irlmin in Cork, best value i can tell you. Or Mini are advertising a service too on the radio i think!

No problem sorting it with a visit to Cork . We only use OE mini filters and correct spec premium brand oils , also We find air and pollen filters need to be replaced at much more regular intervals than MINI recommend , its only common sense if a filter is dirty at 10000 km then replace it and don't let it there until the service schedule tells you to but unfortunately that is what appears to happen , we had an 04 MINI in recently with an oil filter dated 04 when we removed it !!!! there was over 50000 km on the car both air and pollen filters were also dated 04 and this car was covered by MINI TLC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! .PM me for prices if it helps .

Just got the car serviced up here. Brake fluid needed changing. The mechanic said that it looked like the brake fluid had never been changed even though it was signed in the book and the car had been covered by mini tlc aswell!
