Purchase Date 4/07
Build Date: Week 18 May 4, 2007

Picked up on 5/25/07 Mini Peabody

To Date:

Miles 2800

Problems:

Sunroof does not always vent by either remote, or toggle. Takes a couple of pushes on toggle. This does not happen but 20% of the time so is only an inconvenience at this time. Will have it looked at when I go for service.

Fuel indicator lights go dim and bright once in a while. Reseated the filler cap and it solved it. Maybe pressure or cap gasket . Not constant.

Other: None. Great car. Nice changes, fast, comfortable, on and on and on!!!

No regrets.

2 is better than 1.

the fuel gauge dimming is normal- there's a sensor in the rev counter - lower right - which senses ambient light - test it using your finger. If outside conditions are bright the gauge goes brighter so help drivers see it. - and vice versa
