ChilliMINI, recommend you try a lower gas - by definition it will ignite more easily, and so the car should find itself more successful at cold start.

My use of Sunoco 91 for the last year has eliminated cold start issues and been perfect - until the last Sunoco fill-up, when a "partial" cold start issue surfaced.
I'm trying a tank of 89 to see how that goes.


There's an old and somewhat logical "MINI engine feeding" theory that says you should switch between 89 & 93 so the car never gets "too set in its ways", and is more ready to cope with a suddenly different gas formulation.
