My problem with the 'magic' windows and doors that was supposed to be fixed with a replacement ECU returned again, leaving me to find my car unlocked with the windows down in a quiet car park in the rain!

I managed to get the car home by manually locking the doors from the inside, but when I tried to lock the car from the outside all the windows came down again, doors unlocked, interior light was going on and off.

I gave up called MINI assistance and asked them to take it away with a letter of rejection, following my letter last week that stated any further recurrence of my problems would result in rejection.

I have yet to hear as to whether this has been accepted, and I will be ordering a new Cooper which hopefully will not have the problems, but we'll see.

I'll keep you posted.

Every sympathy, Varse. But it's good to hear that you're still prepared to trust BMW. I can't believe they will allow this fault to continue to manifest itself, irrespective of stories that they "do not know what the problem is". It's way too big a problem to go unresolved.

Will you be changing your spec when you re-order?
