One would think.... unless they "fixed" the problem after 2006.   The 07 and 08 convertibles are very confusing because they have very little in common with other same year models!  I bet some of the MINI service advisors don't even realize it!

yes it is a recall, but only includes model years 02-06, but even being an 08, if mine has the same defective part, i would think they would still allow it to be part of the recall.

The 2008 R52 Convertible is indeed a Generation 1 car, mechanically the same as the 02-06 R50 and R53 hatchbacks.  That's not to say you'll have more luck with warranty work.... I think you'll find its 3 years OR 100,000 miles, unless you have an "extended" warranty....   That is of course unless you are talking about a "recall" which should not expire....

Tell them how dare them not replace a part that almost went 100,000 miles

According to WorldPac It's the same part number, $450 for the ZF Factory part or $466 for the Bosch Factory part.

O8 mini cooper . think I would check on the north american motoring website. as this is mostly classic minis. threads. later bc

have an 08 mini cooper with power steering pump failure, was hoping they would still replace under warranty since its under 100,000 miles, i was wondering if the part number in my car is the same that is in a 02-06 that is covered under warranty? mine is regular convertible and not the s model, if its same part number, it would seem silly for them to not change mine as well under warranty since it would be the same defected part?? any info i can bring into dealership with me would be appreciated
