Well for someone who gave as much help as I could where it was needed, I now need some of my own. This is just a one off appearance folks, I'd like to thank in advance any help anyone can offer because I am literally baffled confused and totally lost with the Mini. I'm going to keep this as short as possible but I will end up writing away I think, forgive the length of the thread.
1.
From the first few days my media player has frozen/crashed and it has carried on intermittently.
I cannot predict when the media player will stop working. When it stops it displays the characteristics of a typical system that needs to reboot - the only thing is there is no definition of how to reboot and why it happens in the first place and Mini cannot find anything. For a while this happened for a day or two at worst and Mini have always blamed me, the phone and the cable.
On that note I have the iPhone 5, black USB to lightning Amazon cable (sometimes the white Apple one).
Lately, I had a scenario where the media player crashed for three weeks sandwiched between a few days apart - I took it back with my disgust and asked them to look into it - Again I didn't receive the help I needed and the time has come on that point to put my foot down once and for all.
It has presently crashed and stayed crashed and I cannot play any music - I can't take it back because I am away but I have taken photographs/filmed it.
The problem is this issue has coincided with others.

I have 4 separate sounds in the car. One sound has been fixed it was a wrong washer bottle part - (don't ask). The other sound has been found and apparently fixed - I need to drive it more - left hand door seals (yes, shocking after 8 months built from new). The other two sounds are - the car rattles from the left side on different surfaces and doesn't on others. Then I have a jingle type sound right behind me on my drivers side. I am lost because they keep on saying it's the belts when it clearly isn't.
3. Build quality.
Shocking. The back bumper seems tighter to one side of the back plastic arch than the other, both sides which align with the arch and the main body panel have paint finish issues, which have resulted in a chip like finish on the right and on the left it seems its about to happen anytime soon.
I'm not here for any sympathy, those that know will know that I had a huge problem with my A5 before this and that mentally and physically tired me out. Now it seems the Mini is going the same way. I would like the issues resolved satisfactorily or else I will have no choice to reject the car - and that is the issue - I find it difficult now to drive it - the media player is unpredictable - the DAB radio too - I forgot to mention it has crashed once for 2 days and now losing signals in places it never lost signal - (very disheartening on top of everything else). The other problems are just a joke - the car was fine for 5 months and now they are coming one after the other - so I have allowed three months and more than three occasions for the car to be dealt with and to be accordingly fixed but it's always a half baked job - I must mention the car has been dealt with at the local dealership but it will now go back to the main dealership.
I am again in a rock and a hard place and it's not a nice place to be - if any one can help on the media/radio issues please do - if anyone can help on the other issues please do - any help, any advice, will be as always much appreciated.
Thanks for your time and patience.
