Yep, last night on the way home I passed the 75k mile mark. Usually I notice when I hit the ‘000 boundaries but this time I missed it, saw 750001 instead. Carrie is still going strong though at the weekend I went to get gas and the DSC light came on and wouldn’t go off. I figured I would troubleshoot it when I got to the gas station but when I cranked her up the light was off and has stayed off ever since.
The front brakes are due to be replaced in the next 2000 miles or so. After Brian’s comment about how much I paid for the rear ones, I am not sure if I will take it back to the last garage or not. One thing I noticed though with the rears is that they replaced the rotors as well – shouldn’t I be able to get just the front pads changed??
If I add up the miles in all my MINIs, I’d probably get to that total 😉
I commented on your brake fiasco also but it never got posted. I think you got screwed by the people who did the work.
As far a front rotors go… unless you have gone down to the rivets on the pads, or whatever they use now, you should not need rotors.
My comment was lost… again… I give up.
