    as in you cant turn on the sidelights or headlights (dipped) when the ignition is in the off position. I think ive sorted it now (wire crimped to the wrong connector going onto the fuse box) but im not 100% sure as the car wont start now so im charging the battery as the volts looked a bit low (it would click and the everything went off)

    Yes, a small reactor to power the Mini would be great :)
