Hello BETTY welcome to the nuthouse...he he...

Quoted from mabel

The earlier Binis had problems with the CVT boxes (along with a load of other probs!) If you go for a Bini go for post 2006 (like OB's Gem) it's a much better car.

What problems were those? There are hundreds of thousands of older MINIs running around quite happily. Anything serious should have been fixed a long time ago under warranty.

LazyBones is a very early Cooper S, on a 52 reg and has his 7th birthday next week.

The full list of what has gone wrong is:

Alternator belt tensioner replaced under warranty.
Gutter trim refixed under warranty.
Small leak in coolant expansion tank and door mirror heater failed at 6 years old.

The main facelift was in summer 2004, so there isn't going to be a lot of difference between a 54 reg (or a very late 04 like Solid Gold Mike's) and an 06.

It's was mainly with Autos- there are lots of cases of auto boxes packing up after approx 60,000 miles. The box was altered in 2006 ( of course there's was no prob with it- they just fancied a change....hmmm!!) Thats why I suggested post 2006 as Burmesejack drives Auto.
    Apart from that , my whole steering rack had to be replaced as it was worn (after only 30,000 miles) and then there's the issues brought up by Watchdog.
    I'm not saying that they are bad cars , I just didn't want to run the risk of having to replace the auto box when it was out of warranty! They don't replace them as they don't admit there's a prob. If you check out the MINI2 forum there is an extremely long thread of people who have had the problem !

hi neve (scoop) yes it is denise and me john.with the pink mini.

"Hmmm! You smell nice! What is it?"

Hi John, this is Louise if you see Buffy on the board that is Neve.............why Betty? that is why we thought it was Denise.........is that the name of your mini?

I wonder if the lady had a few bruises the next day that was an impressive slip on a chip ....but of course she hadn't been drinking!!!!!!

Neve is back to school and enjoying it....amazingly.  She is off on her school holiday tomorrow(p4_weehee), she says she is glad to get away from me too

the car is called betty thought you might have noticed the large sticker on the back saying betty
i cant believe that respectable looking woman had been drinking she assured me it was her slippery heels
is there a lot of vampires in devon or does she just like the show.
hope you are getting on well at school
we took the car to a show in brighton and denise put the for sale sign on betty but luckily were no no buyers this time.

She didn't slip on the chip - she was on her bottom before she got to the chip
