Posted the problem i have had on the mini forum with the panoramic sunroof.
Basically short story is.... after the winter only now is the first chance my gf has had to open the sunroof. She tried and it was juddery, no problems ill look at it later. She tried opening it again and now its stuck in the tilt position, the sunroof is higher on the left hand compared to the right hand side. It looks like some sort of mechanical mechanism problem.
Basically the car is 4 months out of its warrenty!!! and according to other posts on the forum mini want £1600, yes £1600 to fix this type of problem. Though one or two have had this reduced to £200 (due to car being 5-6 months out of warrenty).
My question to you guys is how do i go about getting the same deal for my GF. Any law jargon i can throw at the mini dealer etc etc? being 4 months out of warrenty and being faced with a £1600 bill to fix a common bad designed problem is sickening.
So i need to prepare myself with some words before i pop down there monday.
Whats your opinions guys?
