Yeah Ziggy, it is a pain having it break down like that! grrrr. I think the 'symptoms' your mini has are a lot different and I don't think it is that same EML issue that I had. (But then again I am not a technician!
)
and BakerJC the fix is the one described by COOPERation.
I want to know if they are going to do a recall. Considering that the same problem was on my mum's BMW sedan and my friends BMW coupe and now my mini!
