Jades Mini due for its MOT soon, the exhaust is however quite badly corroded and the hangers slightly detached itself so has a bit of a wobble.
Im guessing this is going to be a fail?
Its went exactly the same as the last mini she had!! Only 4yrs old as well!! 
Its got a cracked windscreen and is using coolant as well - shit car!! :doyle:

Yeah I thought so, its not totally burst off, it just isnt as secure as it should be.
Last mini this happened to I fitted a milltek cat back to then proceeded to sell it a few months later. :doyle:

4 years on a 'BMW', sounds fucking shit to me.
I'm sure getting it repaired rather than replaced would do the job though.

chloes is coming up to 5 years old now and the exhaust is still mint, only thing gone wrong is the gearbox, had a new one under warranty, must be the harsh scottish weather

My mates 06 plate Mini had a new gearbox under warranty a few months back. Shocking IMO.

This ones had a new power steering pump fitted at about 25k, now the exhausts fucked. Cant comment on the gearbox, I try not to drive it.
Trying to get her to change car now but the only thing she likes is a TT convertible & there too much. :doyle:
