So much for advance planning, hotel booked, etc. with Sunday's run in mind...
Nearly two and a half years of ownership and no probs... but tonight coming home from the gym the engine symbol is lit (service engine soon) and it won't go out!

I checked the gas cap, it's tight.
The service interval countdown still reads around 7k to the Inspection 1.
Car seems to run OK aside from one idle drop (no stall), but I'm leery of driving very far with that light on.
I'll be calling MINI Edmonton at 9:00 tomorrow, according to their website they are open for service on Saturdays 9:00 to 3:00.
I'm hopeful they can squeeze me in and sort this, I even borrowed the digicam from work for the run.

Update : Just went to pick up the Son from basketball and the light is out, so if all is well on the morrow we'll see you Sunday.
