    Picked up the car. Ever since I had it, there was a hesitation off idle. I thought that was just "nature of the beast."

    I was wrong. The hesitation is gone. I love the car even more now, which I didn't know was possible.

    Hey, my husband is at Orlando MINI (been there since 10am) to replace tail light and license plate bulbs. Dealership is replacing 3 "recall" items....aluminum door trim, coolant temperature sensor and timing chain tensioner while he is there. LOVE ORLANDO MINI!!

    Update- My MA called back and said that they caught this early. The timing chain is fine, the tensioner and bolt are getting replaced now and I should be able to pick her up an a couple of hours.

    Drove the wife's Hyundai today as I had errands to run. I miss my Mini. She has soul.

    28,100 miles on the car now.

    After they did the service, they reset the service indicators. Now, the dash is telling me I need another vehicle inspection in 3100 miles. I wonder what is needed next? My MA told me to bring the car back at 35,000 miles for front pads and rotors. At least it is all under warranty.

    Looks like I'll be drinking lots of free gourmet coffee. I might even try the free ice cream.

    Glad everything was fixed and you only paid $20's.

    It's really nice when you Mini is running smooth.
