My French registered MINI Cooper’s power steering developed a leak at 29,000km. BMW/MINI Cannes, from whom I purchased the car 6 years ago and who have serviced it regularly, charged me 1,356 Euros to rectify the fault with a replacement "Cremaillere de Direction" (toothed rack), declining to assume part of the cost. At the same time last week, another motorist, experiencing an identical fault with his car, after 70,000 km, wrote to the French Motoring magazine ‘Auto Plus’, complaining of the fact that his Concessionaire had only agreed to accept 45% of the total cost. In reply, the French magazine’s motoring correspondent stated that if such a fault developed up to 60,000 km, the entire cost should be assumed by the Concessionaire. Are you of the same opinion?
