"Find a good one, they are there if you look"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I love my mini so much and she has done me proud so far. As I see may people have had problems with theres I cannot report a fault at all apart from the odd creak on the drivers seat every now and then.

I called my liquid yellow cooper dolly after dolly parton big lamps and blonde hair.

I purchased my mini in late 2006 with just about 9000 miles on the clock through a good dealer and am so pleased with it all the services have been carried out and she runs perfectly.

General comments?

I think it is give and take with the build quality on these if they are looked after like dolly has been there should be no problems, I have not come across the pulling to the left or any rattles. the first time I took dolly to my mini dealership they could not believe her low mileage.

I looked for quite a few months for my mini and ended up travelling 58 miles to find her she had to be yellow with the black roof and no hideous bonnet stripes ha ha.

Give or take sums up quality on British cars, but is it not obvious to you, that this car has probably been clocked.

As you may have suggested, no it has not been clocked. I have checked with the dealer it was bought from and serviced from new, and yes I did a car data check. I checked this all out before I purchased the car. The previous owner was a couple, and they very rarely used it as they tended to drive his car.

Update of dolly the mini, sadly some nice lorry driver took the complete rear and side of her out and she is no more, so now have moved onto the brand new mini and I have to say not as impressed as I was with the first one.
