Hello everyone,

My first post, and its about my daughters Mini One convertible 2005, with 38k on clock. I have just purchased the car for her as a gift for passing exams.......4 days after paying £6K for her, i get a text from my daughter, as i work away in Middle East saying she cant select 1st gear as clutch pedal has stayed down. Had to be towed and of course a very distraught 17yr old. I feel kind of useless working away, so wondered if anyone here could diagnose the issue and best cause of action. The car is in Belfast, Dealer or specialist? Thanks Paul.
