Mini Engine Changed

Tags: BMW Mini, Poor BMW Service, Snows BMW
...... And continue it does. Today got the call from snows, they have replaced the Mini's engine with a new one, apparently the block on this one is the correct length, (still haven't got my copy of the report). Any way I drove down to snows in my car specifically to test drive the Mini, and all seems well. Gearbox now only making a couple of normal sounding mechanical noises when changing gear. No noises when you just depress the clutch ( your a pathetic clutch and the accelerator is much more attractive ). Just to be sure I got them to let me test drive another mini directly afterwards, both make the same apparently Mini type noises, can only be a good thing.
New battle now, im quite happy to accept the car assuming they start the TLC pack ( on the engine maintenance only ) for threes on the new engine. After all its a brand spankers Engine clutch and Gearbox. Unreasonable ? don't think so, so tomorrow its on the phone to BMW customer services.
Its probably worth mentioning that as soon as BMW UK admitted there was an issue with the car, snows BMW became a lot more receptive to being helpful. This is entirely because as soon as that happened BMW UK were picking up all the bills. Pretty pathetic customer service from what supposed to be a prestige car dealer! Ironically the most irritating bloke in there is the customer services manager.
