I have always found the dealers (around the midlands) very good. I had a M-reg 900 that developed a major suspension fault and that was all done under warranty - my service intervals were never completely on time - although there was no evidence that the car was neglected. I guess you have got to take it to the dealerwith your expectations high and fingers crossed.
