United-Kingdom Help please

I wonder if anyone is able to help me, I have a 2003 mini cooper s (which I love). Recently I have been having an issue with the ABS, DSC and run flat indicators all coming on as I drive off, they then stay on until I switch the car off and then as soon as I drive off again the come on and stay on. Has anyone had this problem, I see some people have had it intermittently but mine has been doing this now for months.

I have checked and cleaned all the ABS sensors and this hasn't made a difference. If anyone could shed some light on this I would appreciate it.

Smile Welcome to MINI2 ...

You can use the Advanced Forums Search to find threads in the First Generation MINI Faults & Fixes forum where any of the following caused similar problems:
Pulse Generator
Speed Sensor
Steering Angle Sensor
You will probably have to take your car to a mechanic to diagnose which of the above is the culprit.

Hi there Abby, and welcome to MINI2.

I had the same fault appear on my MINI (2004 MC), it turned out to be a faulty front nearside ABS sensor. MINI diagnosed it very quickly - any garage would do providing they have the correct diagnostic software.

Depending on where you're based, MiniMania in Milton Keynes could do this for you (much cheaper than MINI/BMW).
