3 week old Cooper CVT-drove 5 blocks & noticed battery light flickering on and off a few times- but then it stopped. Went to work- came out 5 hours later- (going to pick up my license plates)- light on again right after starting car- but just for a second. Drove to dealer-16 miles- no light- since I was there anyway I asked them to check it out- they ran diagnostics, all negative- said they've seen it before- spoke to MINIUSA- told it is a computer glitch that can't be explained- MINI is working on the problem, assured me all is ok. So the question is- ignore it? Call MINIUSA? It just doesn't sit well with me to have a 3 week old car that has a light coming on when it shouldn't- HELP!

Hi Speedy57, have had the same problem a few times, mine is a Cooper 5 speed. I just posted a new thread on this tonight before reading yours.

Had the same issue -- after having left the door open all night in the garage. Car started right up but battery was apparently low. No issues afterwards (making sure i actually shut the car door now).
