bmw mini

hi wonder if any1 has had the same problem the hinge on my mini one 2006 plate has snapped while lifting up the boot , as its out of warranty now mini dont want to now but surely the hinges should last the lifetime of the car i have a 15yr old volvo and the hinges have never snapped , i took it to ford and they said they said its a manufacturers fault i am lost on what to do as it has done a lot of damage to the rest of the paintwork and also dented the boot, i have spoke to mini they dont want to know. any help would be appreciated.

    I suggest you try the mini2 forum to see if its a common problem, if it is I suggest you continue to fight

    I had a convertible mini when they first introduced them and they had lots of problems (holes wearing in the hoods, rear side windows scratching, rear glass windows exploding out etc etc) and owners had to fight even when the cars were a year old
