Replying to: bodble2 (Jul 09, 2008 10:43 pm) Have you or a neighbor gotten a new garage door opener? Most internet providers automatically reassing a new IP address each 24 hours, to make sure the DHCP doesn't run out of available addresses to assign. Your modem/switch/router automatically requests a new address once access is denied, under normal circumstances. So, I would suggest this...try logging on before your wife gets in the car to leave and see what happens. If you can't, and then you can as soon as she leaves, I would agree...its the car. But, I still have my doubts at the moment....Good Luck! Replies to this message: bodble2 (Jul 11, 2008 11:17 pm)
#2570 of 2671 Hot Weather problems by cedxjlj Jul 11, 2008 (11:11 am)
When it is 88 degrees or hotter outside, it gets VERY HOT on the drivers side by the gas pedal. MINI says this is normal as it is where the exhaust and heater core are. But it is so hot that I can hardly keep my foot on the accelerator and must use cruise control. Anyone else with this problem. I have a 2007.

Replying to: cedxjlj (Jul 11, 2008 11:11 am) That does not sound normal.

Replying to: cedxjlj (Jul 11, 2008 11:11 am) Nope. Never had that issue. My HVAC blows hot if I don't turn on the AC but it seems all late model BMW/Mini products do that...

If you can't, and then you can as soon as she leaves, I would agree...its the car." That did happen on 3 occasions, which was what led me to suspect the Mini (or the evil wife!)...however...apparently that is not the cause, or at least the sole cause. Last evening, the wi-fi cut out 3 times, and by the 3rd time I could not revive it for all the tea in China. So, I waited till my wife left for work this morning, but the wi-fi remained deader than Michael Vick's career! My friend said it's not out of the question that it may just be hardware failure. Often hardware failure would be preceded by sporadic problems leading up to final death. If the problem is hardware, my guess would be the router. My next move is probably to get a new router from Best Buy. If it turns out not to be the router, at least I can return it for a full refund!

Replying to: karen31 (Jul 16, 2008 5:58 pm) I tried to respond but her message ...link was unresponsive. My issue with my mini cooper is the Sunroof they did NOT finish. Now I'm trying to engineer an intuitive attractive sunroof cover....live in Forida. The heat and sun is unbearable. What were they thinking?

Replying to: feliciatwo (Jul 22, 2008 3:45 am) that's why I didn't want it. these super-expansive sunroofs appear great when open on a cool day. Get out the sun and all the glass without a proper shade turns into a rolling science experiment. Some people have taken to adding a super-dark limo tint.
