Congrats!

Great that it was almost nothing.

 

ok

I'll bite. What's electric and whirs with the power steering? Is the power assist electric instead of hydraulic(sp?)? If so, why so?

Correction.

Power sterring PUMP was constantly ON.

Replaced Electronic Relay and Power Steering Pump.

New Battery

Car stops the noise and functions well. Drove it for a bit.

 

Congrats again. Hope the road's smoother this time out.

 

Aren't British-built cars great?

 

YAY! I've been following your story , too, and I'm happy it was something simple. NOW, are you sure that your battery is in good shape? I hope they made sure the battery was good...

Congrats on getting her/him home!

 

Hurray!! Pat, we were all feeling your pain... Good thing you didn't punch a big dent in the bonnet out of frustration... You didn't did you?

Godspeed.

 

Glad to hear everything is working again. Motor on.

 

NEVER! I don't beat my children!

Her name is Rosemary. I will post pictures soon.

Btw, the battery seems to have been replaced aswell.

 

Your dealer behaved like a good dealer should. Other than the lack of a loaner or rental car (which could well have resulted from the unfortunate timing, as you suggest), they seem to have taken good care of you. I know several Mini dealers who wouldn't have replaced your battery, for instance, even if you had asked them to. Having experienced more than my fair share of lousy service from Mini dealers, it's refreshing to hear about a conscientious one.

 

Pat, so glad to hear that your MINI is back with you, once again. Motor happily this weekend, and try to put this episode behind you. :smile:

Cheers!

Asking me about my experiance...I really gave it to them, and they said they would notify someone above them and try to make it right. Lol, maybe they'll send me some free stuff hehe.
