Mini help
« on: January 18, 2013, 02:59:42 pm »
Wife just got back from work in the snow and her electrics on her mini cooper are playing up.

Speedo is erratic and dash is lighting up like a christmas tree with warning lights including the Airbag light on the rev counter. Car seems to be running fine :stupid:

Anyone have experience of this?

thanks for any help

Might be worth running this by a mini forum. If it's a common fault, you'll soon find out about it there.  :happy2:

Problem is, most of the new mini forums are useless. Signed up for a couple when the wife got hers and they are like ghost towns. Maybe I'm just spoiled here!
