Remember me - the one whose friends/family complained about the rough ride?
Took my 2010 Clubman S to dealer yesterday and SURPRISE!!! I've been driving for 11.000 miles with the SHIPPING BLOCKS IN THE STRUTS!!!! It rides like a completely different car now. The dealership was mortified and said that the technician that neglected to remove them last June doesn't work there anymore. I expressed concern that there may be potential damage or wear because of this. They said no but the only 'up' side to this saga is that the springs are like brand new since I haven't been using them! The paperwork describes the problem if it should cause any unforeseen future problems. Thanks to all of you for the hints and suggestions!

Not the first time I have heard of this happening here on NAM.
How about contacting MINI directly - I am sure they would like to hear about this dealer. Ask MINI for their 6 year 100,000 mile maintenance FREE for your stress over 11,000 miles!

I remember you and I think I posted on your thread. This is actually something that happens quite a bit believe it or not. I don't think there's really any harm done to your car. I wouldn't get too carried away on asking for "compensation" but certainly have it on file in the event that something does fail, you can bring up that it may have been attributed by the shipping block.

Look at your strut mounts and towers to be sure neither the mounts are bent nor the plates are cracked.

Doing "a slow burn" doesn't help you or your car or your future safety.
