BMW Mini recalls 235,000 cars worldwide

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

BMW Mini recalls 235,000 cars worldwide

#1 Post by Mitsuru »

Mini is recalling 235,000 vehicles worldwide - 29,868 cars in the UK
This is due to a fault with an electrically powered water pump.

The fault, which could be a fire risk in some cases, is known to affect
vehicles, including the Cooper S and John Cooper Works models, built
between March 2006 and January 2011.

Some people are like Slinkies - they serve no useful purpose, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them downstairs.

They are recalling Minis not Minors. Even the younges of them is outside it's warranty period now ;)
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.
