The car my cousin was working on, before it was canned in favour of producing a diesel for the 'family' cars...
It's a shame she will never see the new production vehicle...
As for the weight and complexity, I'll limit my interest to seeing the photos...
As for the original thread, I've had little dealing with main dealers - our local LR one was pretty useless (and as far as I'm aware still is - comes under the same banner in the subject line). And, I've just found not to trust my local MINI dealer either. I gave them enough clues that I know what's under a bonnet but they still tried to rip me off (and I'm one of many). So, I have very little time for large, carpeted, glass car emporia...
