My bro's one is also on it's way out at 72k on an 08 plate, even though it's spent all it's life on the motorway so yeah must not be pressing the clutch down properly or something

I had 3 VXR's I never had an issue. 
 
Shall we talk about the early gearboxes on the Mini? Wow what a disaster area that is.

Thing is I don't give a rats ass if there was a problem with the early gearboxes on Minis   Plus I don't have an early Mini so doesn't affect me anyway
