Replying to: hower (Oct 21, 2009 9:52 am) ...it sounds like my situation.   have you had your car repaired yet?   If not, it is probably worth talking with the dealership about the repairs & cost especially if you have had all of your previous work done by the dealership. Check out the comments by Ceee Ceee in the previous thread.   Unfortunately, sometimes you have to be the super squeaky wheel.

Replying to: drea111 (Oct 29, 2009 11:40 am) I called MINI international, let them know of the bad tranny diagnosis from the BMW shop, they had me tow it to the dealership and now the dealership is saying its just the front axles. They also said they wont know for sure until the axles are replaced because the sounds cannot be separated since the tranny is connected to the axles. Wish me luck. PS. I had most of my service at MINI but the closest dealer was over 50 miles away, so I had oil changes done at a BMW service shop closer to home. Thanks for the response, is your MINI fixed now?

#264 of 268 Seat belt Airbag Idiot Warning Light by wongkid Nov 03, 2009 (9:19 am)
2003 "S" - My seat belt airbag idiot light comes on and stays on. Two Mini mechanics told me it's a faulty electrical plug under the seat(s) that jiggles loose and the computer reads it as a airbag fault and lights up the warning light. The mechanics simply reset the computer and the light goes out until the next "jiggle". Good news: it is not an airbag problem. One recommended either replacing the plug(s) or splicing the wires together to prevent reoccurence. Has anyone ever had this same problem and what was your solution?

Replying to: rus3 (Oct 10, 2006 5:51 pm) Old news, but pls see today's post on the airbag light. Did you ever find a solution?
#266 of 268 Irritating Warning Light by CeeeeCeeee Nov 03, 2009 (2:00 pm)
My late husband had a very expensive Mercedes and the "Service Engine" light would not stay off! He decided that after numerous attempts to have the dealership's mechanics take care of the problem, without success, he would take care of the problem himself. He taped a small, circular bandaid over the light. By the way, he was a physician. Best wishes!

Replying to: hower (Nov 01, 2009 2:24 pm) Wowser- good to hear that things are working out for you.   Yup, my car has been fixed.   I took it to a third party and learned mid-repair stream that MINI Corp. was willing to help/assist with the cost. OUCH, it was too late!   In any event, I am now trying to get a good trade-in. If you have any ideas or tips please let me know as I am encountering some friction from the dealership.   Well, I am off to work on my "MINI Cooper Happy Endings" trade-in campaign.      Thanks and special thanks to "ramquist" for the great advice.   A.
#268 of 268 Clattering Sound from the Clutch? by 00m58 Nov 20, 2009 (8:18 pm)
I just purchased a 05 Mini Cooper with a 5-speed manual transmission with 37,000 miles from a private party few months ago. I have driven only 600 miles so far, but lately I have started to hear a clattering sound from the clutch/flywheel? when the car is at stop with the gear in neutral. Can anyone tell me if this is something that may be related to all the clutch problems posted in this forum and should be looked at immediately by a mechanic? And would you recommend to take it to a dealer or private repair shop?   Thanks,
