MINI Hatchback 1.2 One Hatchback 3d Owner Review

Car bought from New from Coopers Thame Ditton in August 2017 and just done 9,000 miles. Broke down in the early of the morning on the A3. Towed away to nearest Mini dealership only to be told next day that the car needed a new Flywheel and Clutch that is not under warranty and would cost around £1,800.00 ro repair. Dealership sent email to Mini to see if they would replace under wanrranty for Goodwill. Mini said NO. Very disapointed as I read lots of articles about other users experiencing the same issue due to bearings on the clutch not fully releasing the flywheel and clutch.
