Damn immobiliser! It use to be click twice and start up and go, now whilst out and about it turned into a game of pacman and clicking the buttons hundreds of times, plus light isn't working well....you temperamental little rascal! Ah well...still love it!

If you disconnect the battery and leave for hlf hour, reconnect then do the procedure to sync the fob back to the ecu you should be good to go after that. Mine plays up all the time and the method always works :)

New lambda, intake and coolant temp sensors ordered for Henry. Why are Mini's so sodding expensive? :(

It's now turned into a competition of who's got the fastest internet speed and therefore can bid the latest.

I usually only use buy it now. But I really wanted some door cappings. Highest bidder for 3 days then last 2 seconds someone bidded £1 higher so annoying

Me and my dad race in the championship. Me in my Red Vixen, him in his Blue one. Occasionally we double drive each others cars.

My dad and I were considering entering the sprint championship the other year, but it was too expensive when we wouldn't have been able to do many races (and my Dads a tight git, :D), so we decided to do a few trackdays instead, :D

I only managed to do the wheels today, :D I find it easier to wait till late in the day in heat like this before washing cars, much more comfortable and less streaks.

Smell the smoke. Antifreeze is very sugary. Obviously in a well ventilated area.

It could also just be condensation from the night before.

I havent started it up again but I have checked the coolant level and its still at the max. My only concern is that it has happened a few times (my car is a daily drive by the way).

Ah really? hope yours can be fixed easily! Mine is all sorted now thanks to Yoda :)! My indicators/hazards weren't working because : hazard switch bridged at back with paper clip! , indicators wired onto hazard relay circuit as indicator relay had been taken out and instead the wires had been taped together!!.. So thankfully Yoda fixed it before I had my mini go up in flames!!
