The R56 is subject to a "campaign" not a recall. A recall is a safety related rework, a campaign is something a manufacturer can do at its discretion. Good luck with getting anything out of mini over here. The power steering failures of the earlier cars as well as suspension issues were far more dangerous and have been brushed under the carpet. Then there are all the exhaust valves that have burnt out due to a poorly designed cylinder head and the gearbox internals that are made out of dog st and cheese. It's only the tensioner that's the issue on your car, I believe it's about 25 quid and can be changed in around an hour.

Campaign, recall, I don`t care. As far as I`m concerned it`s just another example of Mini`s parent company taking the owner of 1 of their products for a mug.

There is a design fault, they know it, so should sort it.

Also don`t understand how they arrive at £1200 & you seem to imply around £250 tops.
