Will MINI pay to replace my power steering pump?

I have a 2004 MINI Cooper and the other day my car suffered sudden failure of the power steering. I believe in 2013 BMW released a letter stating they would extend the warranty coverage for the power assist steering pump and associated cooling fan for 13 years. My car is currently with my local garage and they informed me that the steering pump needs to be replaced and will cost nearly €800 to repair. I am wondering if my car is covered under warranty within Ireland?

Thanks

When will Volkswagen Ireland launch Apple Car Play?

When will Volkswagen Ireland launch Apple Car Play on Composition Media stereo across its range? I have a Mk7 Golf with the second version of Composition Media and it says I need an activation code. I asked Volkswagen Ireland for a part number and the price is €250 including VAT, but it can't be ordered as it's not available in Ireland yet.

Is there any other way to find out a launch date for this feature?
