Hope the bugs are out of the MCS before I get one... my dealership will be 100+ miles away. This was the ONLY negative in getting one...

:az:

Oh come on. There are a few more negatives than that. Just get in it and imagine trying to vacuum and clean the interior. :)

MCS = ??? :dunno

What's the recall for?

MCS = MINI Cooper S

The recall was for some transmission thing only on the manuals... apparently it can get stuck in a gear or something like that... not too much of a safety hazard but a nuisance nonetheless. I think the dealers just install a clip to fix it...

Not the MCS, just the MC 5 spd!

Any update on the situation of the recall mDeb?

Chris,

Her car won't be affected as it's for the 5 spd Coopers. More specifically VIN TC30066 - TC34812. Part of the linkage uses a magnet that is supposed to break away so you don't blow your tranny. However, under less than ideal conditions, the link pops off. The fix is a $.50 clip.
