#264 of 269 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?

#266 of 269 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 269 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,

Replying to: ramquist (Oct 21, 2009 6:21 pm) Would you mind helping me out too? My manual transmission failed at 65K miles.Neither the dealer NOR the corporate office would do anything for me....so $3K and 6wks later......I had the tranny replaced by my own mechanic, who got a used tranny out of salvaged cooper. I am taking BMW to small claims court in 3 days to ask for compensation. My tranny had a metal bearing that shredded the interior of my transmission, resulting in my car completely locking up on me. Thank God I was not going high speed or could have been seriously hurt. I would greatly appreciate your help. Candace   candacegoldsteingmail.com
