Common fault, the rear wiper, its because the backend get so dirty & blocks the jet.

Could be your power steering fan is running all the time? Look under the front of the car at the back of the engine, it just tucked up behind the sump. Don't stick your fingers in it

Seems they have fixed the buzzing and the wiper which is good. They even washed it(apparently) and didnt charge me for the courtesy car which they said the would(maybe because ive had the mini less than 3 weeks!)
The steering seems really hard now though, is it because they have fitted a new power steering pump? are minis usually quite hard steering?Compared to the corsa courtesy car its really really really hard to turn! |

The steering should not be hard, is the steering hard all the time? or only when the engine is warm? They could of just disconnected the fan. If the pump is running you should hear it whine when you turn the wheel.

Wellhe said he has fitted a new pump and not a reconditioned one so I'll check the fluid tommorrow and just hope it's that! |
