Is there a way of testing the alarm on the Mini One D which does not involve damaging the car (i.e. without shoving a brick through the driver side window)?
After locking the car with the remote, I tried rocking the car but nothing happened. I could have rocked it harder but I didn't want to damage the car. I already put a dent in the bonnet after closing it too hard with my hand
I also tried jacking the car up (as if to steal the alloys) to try and set off the tilt sensors. Lastly, I tried dangling a mobile attached to piece of string to the passenger holy **** handle and then ringing it to make it spin round (to set off the in-car motion sensor) but no joy.
Is it possible that my car doesn't have an alarm, it's a 2005 Mini One D (75BHP)?
Also, there is no spare tyre under the car or spare tyre release handle in the boot, next to the battery. Did this model not come with a spare tyre? If not, what was the point in having a jack in the boot? Without a spare tyre, I'm obviously going to have to rely on the runflats and drive to a garage to get them to replace the tyre.
