Ok they're not the best, but photos are up!

That looks like the inside of the lamp broke up , I think its defiantly a warranty issue , doubt anyone could do that even by sitting on it .

Ah thanks G.. The guy in Enniscorthy says MINI will want it back to look at it.. I didn't think that anyone sat on it either, i was busy trying to suppress a grin which quickly faded as he told me the cost if MINI dont pick up the tab!

[Bawnee]

Update: Part in. They are fitting on Friday morning. They still don't know whether its a Warranty Issue or not, so they are sending it to the UK & when MINI there make an assessment on whether its covered or not. The person is still mentioning external influences as a possibility but that MINI UK will have the final word in Redding, UK on it. Well i'm not paying a cent on Friday. Not a cent as i think it will be a Warranty issue, think this car's jinxed you know!

Will have my fingers crossed for you Siobhan.
Yes, you have had a few incidents haven't you....hopefully this will be it.

[Bawnee]

Thanks Derek & yes i have.... Fingers crossed for me too! LOL

[Bawnee]

Job done.. He still said it was impact damage as they'd to make adjustments before fitting. I was fed up denying the fact so said nothing! Happy it's done & only took an hour. Person I dealt with wasn't the politest so I was glad to get out of there, no welcome, offer of coffee etc. Ah well I'm happy I paid nothing!

[Derfinn]

Hopefully it will stay that way too Siobhan.
Did you have to go to the Deise for that? I heard they have gotten a bit rude in there alright.

[Bawnee]

I went to Enniscorthy & you are so right there!!

[MiniMpi]

Glad you got it sorted Siobhan and especially that there was no charge
Still can't for the life of me work out what could have caused it...
Anyway, enjoy your lovely Clubman

[Bawnee]

Same here re cause.. Maybe it's just a mystery.. Should have asked them to show me the damage!!!

[Bawnee]

Got wheels tracked the other day only to be shown two dents in one of my rims.. he bashed out one, it looks a lot better,but recommended a new rim..

Or should I repair?

[Bawnee]

These dents are on the inside so are not visible.. Damn potholes!!! Grr!

[Bawnee]

Gosh im shattered.. Washed de tarred doors, washed again & waiting for it to dry before waxing over de-tarred area! Also hovered & fed the leather seats.. Almost done now. What a way to celebrate Minis 51st birthday eh!

Fair play to you Siobhan
Have to do mine before Friday week before I go to UK.
