Oh dear...........
Had a few of these in for MOT and the front wishbone bushes have caused a problem, not really visible when jacked up but when on the wheels with the weight on them, rock the steering from side to side and check for play.
get the tracking checked as they are normally driven by kerb huggers.......
and next time its due tyres dont let them palm you off with run flats, certain normal tyres can be fitted to these wheels-ask at your local tyre place, cant remember off the top of my head which ones but they can be fitted and save a fortune.
Had an s works in the other day that had a fortune chucked at it and it had extra bracing fitted to top and lower struts/subframes- the owner said it made a hell of a difference.
Remember the old trick with mk1 golfs was to fit the lower strut brace that was fitted to the later mk1 cabs to stiffen the shell.Different car,especially if bigger wheels were fitted.
If she likes the mini tell her to get a hatch one, convertibles are for the pose not the driving!!
