Hi everyone

 

Firstly, I haven't been on here for a while for various reasons - but it's good to be back, and hopefully back on the road in my mini really soon.

 

My MPI mini needs a bit of attention, simple things (I hope) like the speedo isn't working (just a cable connection?) and it sometimes takes a few attempts to deactivate the immobiliser - and then the big dreaded MOT runs out next month! The problem is I just don't have the time to spend looking at myself at the moment so I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a good garage local to the Farnham/Aldershot/Guildford area that can help without costing the earth.

 

As usual I don't have a huge amount of cash either, but I'm missing driving this crazy little beast soooooo much at the moment  - I can't bare to see her sitting at the end of the driveway with no love or attention anymore. 

 

Thanks in advance for your recommendations.

The remote sounds like it needs a new battery, the manual tells you how to do it. The speedo would need investigating from the gearbox to the back of the pack as its driven by a cable.

Key fob, open with a coin or screwdriver. Replaced battery (CR2032 use a good make) check contacts and clean up if necessary. Synchronise by pressing lock button 4 times.

Remember pressing the button harder just means more chance you'll crack the soldered connections between the button and the circuit board!
