I have talked to Mini UK, they said that the R56 switching is the same as the post July 2004.

So I would take out the igniter and check to see if they are correct or the technician is correct.

As it is a choice of two, then it makes it much easier.

I did check on mine last night, but only by trying to move the white lever.
When you push the lever down there is a click noise, very faint. Only problem was I didn't have time to wait until it got dark to see if it made a difference.

I look forward to your response to confirm which of the two options it is.

Yeah I had a go too but in the dark, it does make a very faint noise, and it seems that it does move them ever so slightly, now whether or not its enough is another question!! I think it probably is, but its a tricky one!! I've not looked into option 2 yet, might have another try soon, its not the easiest thing to test is it really!!

Cheers

Dave
