Re: never again mini - I have a 07 mini cooper with 20,000kms on the clock and the clutch and the fly wheel have apparently burnt out at a cost of A$4600. I have been driving manuals for 25 years. I don't drive aggressively and have no idea how this has happened. I have spent the last 4 and 1/2 hours googling mini clutch problems - wish I had done this before I bought. In light of what I have read I will now seek legal recourse. This is not the only mini problem I have had, with a cracked fuel tank at 2000kms
